How to apply
My first degree as a mature-age student
UWA celebrates a diverse cohort of students, from school leavers to octogenarians. If you’re aged 20 years or older on 1 March for Semester 1 entry or 1 August for Semester 2 entry, you qualify for our mature-age entry pathways.
Your entry requirements
Your entry requirements will depend on the pathway you choose. View all your options below.
Your entry options
If you completed Year 12 at WACE/TEE level (or equivalent), or studied at another university or a TAFE college, you may be able to use the results from your previous study to apply direct to UWA any time applications are open.
No matter how long ago you completed Year 12, if you are unsure if your results qualify you for entry, contact our Future Students Centre to discuss your options.
If you don’t have an ATAR or previously completed study, we have a number of entry options you can use to join us at UWA.
