Early Entry Program – 2025 Entry

A different way to enter university that will not depend on your ATAR.

The Early Entry Program | Swinburne is a unique opportunity for current Year 12 students (domestic and onshore International) to receive a conditional offer based on a recommendation by the school, and not based on an ATAR.Applications are open, and will close later in Term 3. Successful students will receive a conditional offer and the offer will become unconditional should students complete Year 12 and meet the course prerequisites – particularly English (study score of 25) or EAL (study score of 30).

Details of the application process, as well as participating courses can be found below.

1. Application process

Students must organise a recommendation from a school representative – the school’s principal, the year level coordinator, Head of House, or Career Practitioner – in order to proceed with an application.

2. Eligible courses

Courses that will be offered through this program can be found at Eligible Courses, and students can only apply for one course. Students will be required to complete 3 questions in a Next Gen Now questionnaire, and students will be asked to provide a 200-word statement per question.

3. Recommendation form

Once an application is submitted, students will receive a confirmation email which will include the form they need to forward onto their chosen school representative, who will complete the form and return it to Swinburne, who will match it with the student’s application.

Students must also make a VTAC application.

Aspire Community Contribution Program

Open to domestic and international students

Requirements: Year 12 pass, VCE minimum prerequisite study scores and ATAR required

At La Trobe, we believe there is more to being a good student than marks alone.

The Community Contribution, Aspire Early Entry Program rewards the skills and knowledge students gain from the positive impact they have made on their school or community through community service, leadership, or volunteering.

Successful applicants also receive their early conditional offer late September or early October for their chosen course along with minimum ATAR requirements. Many courses have a minimum ATAR of 55.00, but some professional degree programs have higher requirements.

Up to 40 Aspire scholarships, worth $5,000 per year for up to four years, will be awarded to leading eligible Aspire students.

The Aspire ATAR Table shows the minimum ATAR for some degree courses for entry through Aspire in 2025. Should an applicant’s preferred course not be listed on this table, then the minimum ATAR is 50.00.

Applicants are required to provide information about the length and frequency of their community service and/or volunteering experience.

Types of volunteering include –

fundraising for charity
helping to run a school or community club
coaching a sports team
volunteering at a nursing home
mentoring younger students
leading as a school or house captain

Applications are open and close 6 September 2024. Further details can be found at Community Contribution, Study with us, Aspire Early Admissions Program, La Trobe University. Students will also need to make a VTAC application.

New Public Health and Epidemiology Major in BiomedicineThe Bachelor of Biomedicine has introduced a new major in 2024 called ‘Public Health and Epidemiology’ which can be credited towards the Master of Public Health at the University of Melbourne.
