ATAR courses

The following courses consider your ATAR for admission.

The required ATAR for a successful application changes annually. If a large number of applicants achieve a high ATAR score, the requirement will increase – and vice versa.

As a guide, we have provided the ATARs of successful applicants from previous intakes. These figures represent the lowest to highest ATAR and selection rank (ATAR with adjustments) that received an offer through VTAC.

Due to the annual adjustments, it is worthwhile to apply even if your ATAR is below the listed selection ranks. If you graduated more than two years ago, we will calculate an equivalent ATAR based on your subsequent experiences.

ATAR explained

If you are completing the VCE, or have done in the last 2 years, we will consider the ATAR you receive with your exam results. If not, we will calculate an equivalent ATAR based on your tertiary study and/or school results. We may also consider your work experience.

Offers are made depending on the number of places available for that course, and any adjustments you may be eligible for.

ATAR is not relevant to TAFE or postgraduate applications.
