2021 Undergraduate Course Guide – now available

Curtin’s 2021 Undergraduate Course Guide is now available online. You are welcome to distribute this electronic version to your students. TISC have advised they’ll be posting the printed guides mid-June. If your school would also like to receive guides for particular Curtin faculties – please email or call us. View the Curtin 2021 Undergraduate Course Guide

TISC applications are now open

Year 12s can now apply early through TISC for entry to the Curtin course of their choice. Students do not need to submit their Year 11 report – they need only upload their predicted ATAR, if it’s available; if not, they can still apply through TISC without uploading any documentation.

And there’s more good news: This year Curtin will refund the TISC application fee to all students who meet the TISC fee reimbursement requirements.

Please remind students to use their personal email address for TISC applications, rather than their school email, to ensure they receive our emails after the school year ends.

New pathways: Predicted ATAR and Access Curtin

Curtin has added new entry pathways for Year 12s applying for Semester 1, 2021, including the Predicted ATAR and Access Curtin pathways.

Students who apply for an eligible Access Curtin course may receive an Access Curtin offer for peace of mind. If they go onto achieve the required ATAR the Access Curtin progression conditions will no longer apply.

Details are on the Access Curtin page, and you can contact us with any questions.

Curtin Excellence Scholarships are now open

The Curtin Excellence Scholarships for 2021 are now open. Formal applications are not required – students apply simply by selecting an eligible Curtin course through TISC as their first preference.

Applications for the prestigious John Curtin Scholarship Program open on 2 July and close in September. Applications for all other Curtin scholarships open on 16 August. There are a range of scholarships available for students who have demonstrated academic merit and for students who are in financial need. For more information about application processes for 2021 scholarships, visit scholarships.curtin.edu.au/parents-teachers/.Search scholarships

I am very excited to share with you the launch of our new ‘Murdoch Ready’ packages valued at up to $1000 for all 2020 school leavers commencing full time undergraduate degree studies at Murdoch University in Semester 1 of 2021.

The Murdoch Ready packages are a further response to the impact of Covid19, and have been designed to financially support students’ transition to university study in 2021. Students will be able to select one of three packages on offer. The Murdoch Ready packages will replace the Murdoch First Scholarship program for 2021 entry. Issue of packages will commence in Orientation Week of Semester 1.
