Course overview
OnTrack Flex is a free course that gets you ready for uni and into a degree at Murdoch University. Study full-time over 14 weeks or part-time over up to a year, on campus in Perth, Mandurah or Rockingham, or online. We run intakes in February and July.
Pass OnTrack Flex and you’ll receive a selection rank of 70 and meet our English language requirements, which opens the door to most of our undergraduate degrees. Nursing has additional English requirements.
The course provides a learning environment in which you can:
- Develop effective study habits and learning strategies
- Access tuition to develop your academic skills to an undergraduate level
- Build a network of peer and academic support at Murdoch University.
As an OnTrack Flex student, you’ll complete four units containing assessment tasks such as essays, quizzes, oral presentations, learning portfolios, reports and an exam. Feedback is provided in response to each assessment task which you will use to guide and plan your future learning.
Flexible and personalised format
You can choose between range of flexible delivery modes, such as full or part time study, delivered on campus and online. You can also choose elective units that are linked to the study area you’re most interested in.
What to expect
On-campus learning experience: There will be a two hour workshop each teaching week, one hour online lecture, plus independent online study. The days you attend class will vary, depending on the campus you’re studying at (Perth, Mandurah or Rockingham).
Online learning: When enrolled online, your tutor will engage you with weekly discussion forums, one hour online lectures, and independent study.

How to apply
Please follow our step-by-step application guide to ensure you submit a valid application.
Prior to my university degree, I knew I needed an alternative entry pathway because of my lacklustre ATAR. OnTrack Flex was very valuable to me, as it prepared me for university academic integrity and helped with referencing, social activities, and study and assignment timetable management. Ultimately, without the prior knowledge and experience offered by OnTrack Flex, I believe I would not be in the position I am today within my university degree.
