How do I apply?

There are multiple ways to apply for study for university in Australia:

EARLY ENTRY

Direct Entry - this is through the specific university's early entrance scheme. Early Entry means that you can apply for a place at university prior to sitting for your HSC Exams and getting your ATAR. These schemes may ask for your extracurricular achievements.
School Recommendation Scheme (SRS) - these are also specific to certain universities. These recommendations are based on your Year 11 results and ratings of your aptitude and ability to study at tertiary level. Please note, some course exclusions will apply at specific universities for this scheme. You must also be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. This application is also submitted prior to receiving your ATAR.

Please be mindful that when applying for Early Entry via SRS or Direct Entry, there are various key dates for application cut offs. You will need to keep track of those key dates.
