Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Scheme

Boost your selection rank with your subject choices.

Strengthen your preparation for university study and potentially boost your Year 12 Selection Rank by studying eligible language, English and mathematics subjects.

The Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Scheme encourages students to strengthen their preparation for undergraduate studies by undertaking a language other than English (LOTE), or specified English and Mathematics subjects.

How does the scheme work?

In this Scheme, applicants will be awarded two points per subject, up to a maximum of four points, for successfully completing a SACE subject in any one of these four categories:

• 20 credits of a LOTE in the Languages Learning Area (two 10 credit Australian Indigenous language subjects can be paired in lieu of a 20 credit LOTE). Please note the subject Language and Culture does not attract a bonus.
• 2ESH20 English or 2ELS20 English Literary Studies.
• 2MHS20 Mathematical Methods.
• 2MSC20 Specialist Mathematics.

Successful completion is defined as gaining an Overall Grade of C- or better. Students undertaking the International Baccalaureate or interstate senior secondary certificates in Australia are also eligible to receive points under this Scheme.

This scheme applies for all Flinders undergraduate courses with the exception of the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences/Doctor of Medicine (214941).

Under the Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Scheme and the Universities Equity Scheme an individual student can receive a combined maximum of 9 points.
