Home schooling to University
Entry pathways after home schooling
Your child's specific entry route depends on what they’ve already completed and their chosen course. We offer approved alternative pathways that look beyond a standard ATAR. A Future Student Advisor can help map the best path for your child’s goals.
How a Future Student Advisor helps
Our Future Student Advisors provide a personalised roadmap for your child’s university journey. They remove the guesswork by guiding you through entry pathways, the Readiness Assessment, and transitioning from diploma to degree. We identify all course-specific requirements early, ensuring you have the full picture from your very first conversation.
Connect with our team to map out a direct pathway to your child’s dream career.
