Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

2. ADMISSION CRITERIA
Torrens University Australia provides a range of pathways to university study as part of its commitment to equity and a belief that everyone should have access to further education.

Core to the University’s philosophy is that all students with the capacity to succeed in tertiary study should have the opportunity to do so, regardless of social or educational disadvantage. The University’s Admissions Policy reflects these aims. Selection processes are applied fairly and openly, and recognise that formal qualifications are not the only measure of the capacity to succeed.

To gain entry to an accredited undergraduate course at Torrens University Australia, applicants must both satisfy general admissions criteria and meet any additional course requirements where specified.

All admissions criteria and course-specific requirements apply consistently across campus locations and study modes.

Successful completion of at least 1 EFTSL (equivalent full time student load, or one full year) of an AQF level 6 (Associate Degree) or above, or equivalent, from an Australian University or another accredited higher education provider
II. Applicants who have completed a bridging or enabling program at an Australian University or another accredited provider may be assessed and selected for admission if the program is recognised as a basis for admission to an AQF level 6 (Associate Degree) or above by another Australian University.

Non-formal learning through structured courses that do not lead to an officially accredited qualification, such as work-based courses and non-accredited professional development
Informal learning gained through relevant work or life experience, self-tuition and social, family, hobby or leisure activities and experiences. This might also include volunteering experience, community activities or industry experience.
Course-specific requirements may describe additional criteria against which applications based on work and life experience will be assessed.

D. APPLICANTS WITH RECENT SECONDARY EDUCATION (WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS)
I. Australian Year 12 (all states and territories)

Applicants who have completed an Australian secondary school certificate, or an equivalent qualification from an overseas institution, within the prior two-year period may be assessed and selected for admission if they meet the minimum threshold ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank). The following minimum threshold ATARs apply:

For entry to AQF level 7 (Bachelor degrees), applicants must have a minimum ATAR of 60
For entry to AQF level 6 (Associate degrees) or AQF level 5 (Diplomas), applicants must meet course-specific entry requirements.
Applicants who have completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) must have:

Completed their IB Diploma, and
Achieved a score of at least 24 points.
All ATAR scores quoted include any adjustment made through one of the tertiary admission centres (UAC, SATAC, QTAC or VTAC), for example due to eligibility for equity adjustment, location adjustment, subject adjustment or Elite Athlete / Performer adjustment.

Applicants who meet the minimum ATAR for admission may then be assessed against course-specific requirements, including but not limited to interviews, referee reports, portfolios and auditions.

II. Overseas Year 12 Equivalent

Applicants who have completed a secondary school qualification from an overseas institution within the prior two-year period, will have their application assessed by the International Admissions team to determine equivalency with the Australia secondary school certificate, using NOOSR and/or NARIC guidelines.

III. Non-ATAR Admission

Recent school leavers whose schooling has been interrupted or whose performance has been impacted by disability, illness or family disruption will be given special consideration for admission even if they have not achieved a valid ATAR or if their ATAR is below the minimum threshold
