The lowest ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) required for entry into a university course varies depending on the institution, degree type and/or subject area. Generally speaking, most universities will require an ATAR of at least 50-60 to gain admission. However, some courses may have lower requirements such as 45 or even 40. Furthermore, many universities also offer pathways such as Access programs that allow students who do not meet the minimum requirement to be admitted based on their results in specialised assessments or alternative qualifications such as vocational education and training (VET). It is important to keep in mind that each university has its own set of criteria when it comes to entry requirements so it’s best to research your desired course thoroughly before applying.
