Entry Pathways
There are many entry pathways into tertiary courses within Australia for mature age people. Mature age entry is not necessarily limited to year 12 scores, previous study or qualifications. Under current entry requirements at Australian universities, TAFE and selected Registered Training Organisations (RTO's) potential students are eligible to apply for courses even if they have not completed secondary school provided they meet the minimum entry requirements set by the course provider.
