Study a six or 12-month bridging course in a supportive learning environment and qualify for university entry.
Our six and 12-month Indigenous enabling courses give you a clear pathway to university if you don’t have an ATAR, or you left school before the end of year 12. You are eligible if you are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and are at least 17 years of age. When you successfully complete an enabling program, you’ll meet the minimum admission criteria for a range of Curtin undergraduate degrees in business, health, science and engineering.
You may also be eligible for our other bridging and enabling pathways to university.
Enjoy learning in a culturally appropriate environment at the Centre for Aboriginal Studies (CAS) at Curtin. Here, you can access a range of support services including mentoring, academic tutoring, work placements and counselling.
This six-month course is designed for those with a secondary education and/or a relevant TAFE qualification and provides a pathway into undergraduate study.

This 12-month enabling course is a pathway to an undergraduate science or engineering course. When you complete the course you may be eligible for credit for recognised learning.
