Entry pathways without ATAR

We offer a variety of different entry pathways to our degrees with no ATAR. Depending on the course, we may consider recent Australian Year 12 certificates, diploma courses, creative portfolios and student interviews.

Year 12 certificate
If you have a recent secondary school education and an Australian Year 12 certificate, you will be considered for admission.
Diploma
Torrens University offers a wide variety of diploma courses that provide a pathway to bachelor's degrees. Diplomas can give you a feel for university life without committing to a whole degree.
Experience, portfolio, interviews
At Torrens University, experience, talent and drive count. That’s why we consider creative portfolios for entry into our Design and Creative Technology degrees and conduct student interviews for entry into other courses.
Readiness test
We believe your path to higher education should be flexible. If you haven’t completed Year 12, our alternative entry pathway allows you to take a readiness test to gain access to diploma courses. No Year 12 certificate required. Take the test, pass with a score of 70% or higher, and you’re on your way!

What to do if you don't get ATAR you want

We believe you should feel good about your ATAR.

We know a number can’t capture your full story. We value your determination, creativity and life experience, recognising the skills and goals that make you who you are.

Our Future Student Advisors and Student Services team are here to help you explore your study options and find a pathway that suits you.

An education is about more than results. It’s about discovering your strengths, achieving your goals and building a career you love, no matter where you start.

By the time you’re 18 you’ve experienced 9,460,800 minutes of life. How could one number encompass who you’ve become throughout all those minutes? No singular event can define you and there is always a different way to get to where you want to go. Your pathway may not look like how you imagined, but there is so much to gain.
