If you look at this list and think you might not quite make the ATAR score required to get into your dream course, do not despair!
First off, you can’t know for sure until you get your final exam results and until 2012 ATAR entry scores for our courses are confirmed in early January, so stay positive!
Secondly, there is usually more than one pathway to get into uni (exams are not the be all and end all). In fact, Oscar Wilde once said “In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.”
Ok then, be wise and come and talk to our lovely Student Centre staff who will be around all through summer break to chat about admission requirements, course options, finding the course that is right for you, different entry pathways (you’ll be surprised how many options there are) and generally just help you figure it all out. Consult our map to find the Student Centre (hint: at the bottom of the map there is a button that says Student Centre to make it easy).
Can’t make it onto campus? You can:
a) Call us, we are always up for a bit of a yarn - 1300 MURDOCH
b) Write to us, we love receiving your emails - study@murdoch.edu.au
Seriously, these guys can put your mind at ease and present you with options that you may never knew you had, they are worth talking to.
Questions? You can ask them here and we will get onto finding the best person to answer them for you.
