What are the minimum subject
requirements for tertiary entrance in Victoria?
VCE
The satisfactory completion of the VCE including English Units 3 and
4 (chosen from English, English as a Second Language, Literature or English
Language) is the minimum entrance requirement for all tertiary institutions.
Units 3 and 4 of English (any) must be a completed as a sequence and in
the same calendar year.
Applicants who have not met the minimum entrance requirements for a course
must refer to each individual institution to see whether they are eligible
to apply under a special entry scheme.
VCAL
The VCAL aims to provide the skills, knowledge and attitudes to enable
students to make informed choices of pathways to work and to further learning.
Personal development, the utilisation of a student’s particular
interests, and new pathways for senior secondary students, in the context
of applied learning, are underpinning principles of the VCAL. VCAL is
not designed as a pathway to higher education. Individual universities
and TAFEs may recognise VCAL for entry to some courses; applicants should
contact the institution to enquire about recognition of VCAL for entry
purposes.
