Early Offers for Uni 2024
- If you received an early offer and you are not clear what to do, contact the university that made you the offer that you want to accept.
- If you don’t want to accept the offer for the start of 2024, but don’t want to lost the offer, you should contact the university and ask to “defer”.
Did you get more than one offer?
- If you received an offer that you no longer wish to accept, please let the university know so that they can offer the place they had allocated to you, to someone else.
ATAR Calculator – estimate your ATAR score
- You can get a rough idea of your ATAR score by going HERE and estimating what you think you will get for your top subjects.
- This is just a guide using raw scores. Raw scores are scaled according to subjects and schools to ensure fairness.
Estimate Your Uni Fees
You can estimate your uni fees for 2024 through the UWA Fee Calculator.
- The calculations are for 2023 but there won’t be much change and you can get a fair idea of your costs.
- You can do your calculations by course or down to the individual unit level. Most units go for one semester and cost $1892.
- The cost of your degree will grow most based on the number of years you spend at uni, rather than the cost of each unit.
