About Degree

Your way into a top engineering degree

Do you have a selection rank of 70 or above? Did you complete Mathematical Methods* or equivalent?

At the University of APSB, we want to make sure everyone with a passion for engineering can pursue it. If you have not completed the prerequisites to directly enter one of our engineering degrees, you can still study with us in a supportive environment.

What will you do?

Our new Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Engineering Pathway is designed for students with a foundation in maths and a passion for engineering. You will:

  • fulfil any prerequisite requirements
  • study core Bachelor of Engineering subjects in your chosen engineering discipline
  • prepare to enter the engineering program of your choice.

Our staff will support you in choosing the right topics within the pathway option to make sure you transition successfully.

Where could it take you?

With guaranteed transfer into your chosen engineering degree following successful completion of the pathway program, you’ll be ready to pursue what matters most to you at South Australia’s highest ranked university for engineering**.

*For students who have not completed Mathematical Methods or equivalent, please see our MathTrack X option.

    Prerequisites

    SACE Stage 2: Mathematical Methods . IB: Mathematics: Applications and Interpretations (HL) or Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches (SL).

    MathTrackX is an online bridging program available as a recognised alternative to Mathematical Methods.

    Selection Criteria
    Recent Secondary EducationApplicants with recent secondary education are those whose admission is primarily based on the completion of Year 12 within the last two years, however if you completed your secondary education more than two years ago, you may still be able to be considered on the basis of your secondary schooling. You must not have completed more than 2 years full time equivalent university study (48 units). You compete for a place with your Selection Rank (ATAR plus any applicable adjustment factors).

    Indigenous applicants may be eligible for entry through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Pathway. See Wirltu Yarlu for further information.
    Higher Education StudyYou must have completed at least six months full time equivalent higher education study (the number of courses and units will vary depending on your prior institution however at the University of APSB, this equates to 4 courses / 12 units). A Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated for each separate program you have undertaken (apart from some double degree programs where the GPA is combined). You compete on the basis of your best GPA.

    Indigenous applicants may be eligible for entry through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Pathway. See Wirltu Yarlu for further information.
    Vocational Education and Training (VET) studyYou must have completed an AQF Certificate IV or above from a Registered Training Organisation. Your application will be ranked according to the level of the award.

    Indigenous applicants may be eligible for entry through the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Access Pathway. See Wirltu Yarlu for further information.
    Work and life experienceTo be eligible to sit the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) as as pathway for entry, you must be 18 years or over before 1 February 2023. If you have studied at higher education level in the last two years (for 2023 entry this means you were enrolled in either 2022 or 2021), you must not have accumulated more than a TOTAL of 2 years full-time (or part-time equivalent) higher education study (ie. including any study prior to 2021). If you meet this criteria, you will be ranked according to your result in the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). Your STAT result is not weighted between verbal and quantitative components.
