Maths Methods and Chemistry and 80+ ATAR are highly valued by Curtin Science and Engineering. Students who take alternative pathways struggle to master the concepts.
If you DON’T have maths methods, a multidisciplinary science is the best pathway. You can choose your specialty at the end of your first year.
Curtin will work with applicants to design an alternative pathway that is best suited to them.
Scaling of Maths Methods and Chemistry in ATAR results means that students aren’t
disadvantaged when they apply for science and engineering places.
ATAR Revision Programs
At this stage they anticipate that online applications will open on the 19 July. A full course guide with confirmed courses, application guide and link to the application page will be provided to you before applications open.
