Application Forms
The Aboriginal Orientation Course is a year-long course which prepares students for entry to most degree courses at the University of Western Australia.
Students who receive at least 65 per cent in all their subjects usually gain entry to UWA, although those wanting to study Law or Medicine also need to complete the Aboriginal Pre-Law or Aboriginal Pre-Medicine and Dentistry courses over the summer vacation after passing the Orientation Course.
All students enrol in two compulsory subjects each semester:
- Aboriginal Voices (which usually includes a fieldtrip)
- Foundation of University Study
and a minimum of two electives each semester, depending on the student's planned course. See the list of electives and sample timetables for Arts / Social Work / Education / Law and Science / Engineering / Commerce / Medicine / Dentistry.
