Alternative+Pathways

For some people, getting into university is something that you may want to do, but may feel that your marks are not at the standard that they need to be to get into the course that you would like to get into. There are alternative pathways into the course that you want to do, if you do not get the ATAR for your course you can do the following to get into your degree:
 * get into a course which does similar subjects, a course in the faculty, or any course, and obtain a good mark throughout the course of a year and then apply to transfer internally
 * get into a course which does similar subjects, a course in the faculty, or any course, and then apply through UAC again at the end of next year, this is beneficial to all as you both your ATAR and your grade-point average (i.e. equivalent to your course mark at school) both contribute to your applicability for the course
 * alternatively, you can if you wish to do a combined degree, complete one degree and then do the other degree as a post-graduate degree, this does however add one year to your total number of years for most courses, however if these courses are the ones that you want to do then one year is really nothing in comparison to the opportunities which it can open up to you (you may wish to discuss this with Mrs Lock)

Macquarie University also offers non-award study which allows students to study individual units (subjects) without the restriction of a degree which allow you to gain entry into a degree
