Should I apply for UniReady or portfolio entry?

UPDATED 17 OCT 2024 | 7:58AM
While both UniReady and Portfolio entry are non-ATAR admission pathways to degree courses, the pathway program you choose will depend on your qualifications and your competency in English.
To apply for a Curtin course via portfolio entry, you must: 
  • have achieved WACE
  • show your academic potential by successfully completing a minimum of four WACE subjects in Year 12.*
    • At least four ATAR subjects OR
    • A combination of at least four general and ATAR subjects OR
    • At least four General subjects.
You can substitute one of the four WACE subjects for relevant studies of an equivalent nature such as TAFE or Registered Training Organisation (RTO) qualifications, industry training or accreditation and workplace training, endorsed programs, University studies, UniReady in schools units, or Micro-credentials, and Big Picture studies.
  • demonstrate English competency.
To apply for UniReady, you don’t need to have achieved WACE or have any specific English grade or qualification, however, it is recommended that you have: 
  • a spoken English level where you can comfortably speak in a classroom setting 
  • a reading English level where you can comprehend an Australian news article 
  • a written English level where you can write a paragraph of text with mostly correct grammar and punctuation.
