Badanami Alternative Entry Program

Alternative entry to university

Indigenous students who do not have a HSC or other qualifications, or who have a UAI score lower than required for their chosen course, can apply to study at UWS through the Alternative Entry Program.

Badanami Alternative Entry Program is a UWS initiative aimed at increasing Indigenous participation in undergraduate programs across all areas of study at the university.

The program includes a two-day assessment workshop. At the workshop students do a literacy and numeracy assessment and have an informal interview to show that they meet the criteria for the course they have chosen to study.

In addition to the assessment and interview, the workshops include a tour of the campus and Badanami Centre, information about the support services available at UWS, and a chance for prospective students to meet other students and academic staff from their chosen program.
