Portfolio entry

To apply, you need to:

• achieve a strong pass in at least one Year 12 subject directly related to your desired course of study, or significant demonstrated ability, learning and motivation via extra-curricular activities directly related to your desired course
• meet our English language requirements, demonstrated by either:
  • evidence of completing Year 11 and 12 in Australia at any level (domestic applicants only)
  • evidence of completing a minimum of 2 years study at a TAFE or at a Registered Training Organisation (domestic applicants only)
  • a scaled score of 50 in ATAR level English, Literature or EALD; a letter grade of B in General English, Literature or EALD, or a score of at least 140 in the written English section of the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT).

When submitting your application, you need to include:

• completed application form, including a personal statement outlining your interest, commitment and preparedness to study
• completed school endorsement form
  Note: if the school endorsement form cannot be completed due to your school being closed for the December holiday period, your application will be assessed by a panel that will determine your readiness based on your personal statement, school reports, subject grades and other supporting documentation.
• your Year 12 Semester 1 report
• other supporting references for extracurricular activity related to your desired area of study (for example, clubs, employment or work experience).

If your application meets our eligibility requirements we will issue you with a conditional offer.

Your conditional offer is dependent on your final Year 12 results demonstrating that you have:

• successfully completed the WACE
• met our English language requirements
• achieved a strong pass in a related subject or an out of school activity that demonstrates your ability.

If you meet these requirements, then you’re ready to join the Murdoch community and we’ll issue you with an unconditional offer. We can access your end of year results online via TISC if you complete your secondary education in WA.

If you’re unable to meet our English language requirements through your secondary school results, you could sit the written English component of the STAT test. A score of 140 is needed to meet our entry requirements.

As the STAT is usually for people over 20 years of age, school leavers need to request permission to sit the test. Download and complete the STAT English permission form then email it to domesticadmissions@murdoch.edu.au. If you are eligible, we will provide you with special permission to sit STAT.

To apply, you need to:

• meet our English language requirements
• provide evidence of your ability and aptitude by demonstrating relevant life and work experience (3-5 years), completed accredited courses and supporting professional references.

When submitting your application, you need to include:

• completed application form, including a personal statement outlining your interest, commitment and preparedness to study
• evidence of meeting our English language competency requirements
• resume
• two professional references in support of your application
• other supporting documentation, such as related courses certificates or awards.

If your application meets our eligibility requirements, you will receive an offer. An interview may be required to complete your application assessment.

If you don’t meet our English language requirements through your secondary school results, you could sit the written English component of the STAT test. A score of 140 is needed to meet our entry requirements.
