Find a course by ATAR

Finding the right course takes time and research, and you don’t need to have all the answers right away. With a little help from our online tools, you can make course selection easier and learn about the steps you can take to achieve your goals.

As you enter your final year of high school, it's important to make sure you're organised and across any special entry requirements or key dates that might be relevant. Whether you want to start planning your course preference shortlist or need study tips, we've got plenty of information to help you feel confident and prepared for your future. If you didn't get the ATAR you wanted or you got a low ATAR, there's still a pathway to uni and your ultimate course.
