SHOULD I START UNIVERSITY THIS YEAR?

Right now, is the right time to find your pathway to Flinders.

It’s a pity most people only have five fingers on each hand. Why? Because we all love to tick things off, and more fingers would make it even easier to tick off the reasons you didn't go to uni last year...or possibly the year before that...or that...

Perhaps you:

didn’t get the ATAR you were expecting
aren’t sure what to study
not certain how to start
needed a break from schooling
were concerned about the challenges we’ve been facing
got married
had kids
started a new job
couldn’t see how to juggle work and uni
any and/or all of the above…

And that’s just on the one hand.

Fortunately, Flinders has a range of support options and admission pathways that can help you put those fingers down and give a thumbs-up to beginning your university journey this year.

Find your pathway

If you’re confused or concerned about how to start your uni studies, Flinders has a variety of pathways to help you work towards your degree.

TAFE/VET to uni

Even if you didn’t finish Yr 12, if you’ve completed a TAFE/VET (vocational education and training) qualification you may be eligible to enter Flinders University. There are various pathways into a wide variety of course, and many Flinders courses will grant credit for previous TAFE/VET study.

Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT)

If you’re 18 or older, you could be eligible to sit a 2-hour Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). This is a multiple-choice test similar to an aptitude test. The questions will assess your ability to think critically about a range of subjects and challenge you to make sense of a variety of material.

Military academic pathways

Flinders military academic pathways could allow you to use your Australian Defence Force (ADF) qualifications as a pathway to a range of courses. You can also apply to have your professional military qualifications recognised as credit toward your new program of study, which could reduce the length of time required to complete your course.

Flinders Foundation Studies Program

Foundation Studies is a no-cost program that allows you to begin your university studies and gain eligibility to apply for most of Flinders undergraduate courses. Foundation studies is very popular, and a great way to get you started on your studies.
