What is an entry program?

An entry program can boost your application so that you receive an offer for your preferred course. Both La Trobe and state-based tertiary admissions centres like VTAC and UAC provide options to gain special consideration or adjust and sometimes replace your ATAR.

These options include extra study during secondary school or alternatives to normal entry requirements, such as consideration for life or health circumstances, work experience, athletic ability or community service.

What are pathway courses?

Pathway courses help you access your preferred course by completing another qualification once you finish secondary school. For example, you could complete a Diploma or Associate Degree as a pathway to a Bachelor's, or start a related course and then transfer into your preferred course.

  • Found a pathway that suits you? Our course pages have complete details about all our courses, including entry requirements, subject prerequisites and English language requirements. They also include updates to course intakes and start dates that may impact course duration for some pathways.

Admission into the postgraduate course is dependent on you meeting the minimum published selection and admission criteria for that course. See Packaged Offers for more details.
