School of Indigenous Studies

Each year, through the Provisional Entry Scheme, UWA makes a number of places available to Aboriginal students seeking direct entry to degree courses.

This scheme applies to all degree courses at UWA.

The Provisional Entry Scheme is competitive and applicants are ranked in order of merit for places based on a consideration of their education and/or employment background, and the degree course for which entry is sought.

Provisional entry places in degree courses are formally offered in January or February, and students enrol when they receive an offer of a place. All places are decided by an Aboriginal Committee, which consists of Sub-Deans of all Faculties.

Entry categories

There are two categories of applicants eligible under this scheme.

Option one TEE

Applicants must have done their TEE and have achieved a reasonably good TER, albeit one that is not sufficient to gain entry to their preferred degree course. Students with a TER of 75 or more can be considered for entry to a degree course. It should be noted that this TER changes each year in line with UWA requirements and the number of applicants.

Option two Non-TEE

This category includes applicants who have:

• a good education background which may include TAFE, higher education studies or a bridging course and/or
• extensive relevant work experience.
