We offer many pathways at UC
Not everyone follows the same path to university. Whether you have work experience, life skills or non-traditional qualifications, UC offers a range of entry options to help you begin your studies.
These pathways recognise your individual strengths and may support admission or credit towards your chosen degree.

Early Offer Scheme
This scheme is for both domestic and international students who are currently completing Year 12 or the International Baccalaureate (IB) at a school in the ACT or NSW.
It allows you to apply for an undergraduate degree at UC and receive an early offer based on your Year 11 results and a 300-word personal statement, well before your final ATAR is released.
Portfolio Entry
Portfolio entry is available for domestic and international students applying for UC undergraduate courses in arts and design, the built environment, or communication and media study areas.
