Overview
Entrance into an Australian higher education provider (provider) is determined by the entrance requirements set by individual providers.
Providers make offers to Year 12 students, predominantly on their higher education ranking achieved after standardisation of Year 12 scores.
Mature age entry may be based on additional criteria such as work experience and recognition of prior learning. Some courses may have other criteria such as submission of a portfolio or an audition.
Students may also access higher education units through Open Universities Australia on an open access basis and with no education prerequisites. Students may then use the successful completion of such units as credit towards an award from a range of higher education providers.
