Course prerequisites


To make sure we can help you achieve the depth of knowledge needed for a degree course, we require a certain level of background knowledge in some areas.

Prerequisite subjects are expressed in terms of the required mark in a specific WA Tertiary Entrance Exam subjects or Certificate of Education courses of study. You'll need to achieve a scaled score of 50 or more in these subjects to be considered for a place in a course which lists them as prerequisites.

Australian students

The common requirement for anyone entering UWA is demonstrated competence in English.

If you studied interstate, in New Zealand or for the International Baccalaureate, we have conversion tables to help you determine if you meet the prerequisites for your preferred course.

If you are applying for a place based on other qualifications, you need to demonstrate that you have knowledge at least equivalent to the TEE/WACE subjects specified. In some cases this will require you to provide syllabus information for the courses that you believe are TEE/WACE equivalent.

If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions Centre.

International students

The common requirement for anyone entering UWA is demonstrated competence in English.

UWA has conversion tables for the International Baccalaureate, United States College Board scores and the United Kingdom GCE/GCSE.

If you are applying for a place based on other qualifications, you need to demonstrate that you have knowledge at least equivalent to the subjects specified. In some cases this will require you to provide syllabus information for the courses.

Students who meet the academic and English language requirements of the University, and have the appropriate prerequisite subjects will generally be offered a place at UWA. This however does not apply to quota-restricted programs such as undergraduate medicine and dentistry.

If you have any questions, please contact the International Centre.
