Year 11 pathway gives thousands entry to university
More than 2000 Australian students will today be offered a place at the University of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ in 2021 based on their Year 11 performance thanks to an alternative pathway created in response to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Year 11 results have been used as a basis for early release of offers for all University of ÐÂÀ˲ÊƱ undergraduate degrees, excluding competitive entry degrees and those with additional entry criteria.
Students must still complete an Australian year 12 qualification (SACE, HSC, VCE, or IB) and any applicable subject prerequisites.
“We know just how difficult this year has been for school communities so it’s wonderful to be able to offer this alternative pathway to students that recognises their resilience and achievements.’’ Professor Jennie Shaw
The alternative entry pathway is available to all South Australian schools and select regional schools bordering Victoria and New South Wales.
1952 SACE students, 79 IB students, and 19 students from regional Victoria and NSW have received offers through the new pathway.
