鈥淭hrough this pathway, we鈥檝e enabled students to pursue a world-class education no matter how disrupted their school studies and home lives have been by these challenging times,"Professor Jennie Shaw, Interim Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic)

鈥淚n response to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 成人大片 introduced this alternative pathway for entry into the University in 2021 and 2022,鈥� says Professor Jennie Shaw, Interim Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). There has not been a decision to extend this COVID-measure beyond the 2022 intake.

鈥淭hrough this pathway, we鈥檝e enabled students to pursue a world-class education no matter how disrupted their school studies and home lives have been by these challenging times.

鈥淚t鈥檚 important that we reassure and support students, providing them with a level of certainty that their future prospects will not be unfairly affected by the range of impacts of the pandemic on our community.

鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased that our Year 11 Entry Pathway has been widely supported by schools, parents and communities, particularly those in lower socio-economic areas.鈥�

Professor Shaw says that even if they do apply through the Year 11 Entry Pathway, current Year 12 students 鈥渟houldn鈥檛 take their foot off the pedal鈥�.

鈥淭he pathway is there to provide support and assurance, but the traditional selection rank and subject-based entry pathways are still available, so it's definitely in every student鈥檚 best interest to continue giving Year 12 studies their full effort.

鈥淚mportantly, we found from this year鈥檚 intake that the majority of students using Year 11 entry would have gained entry via their Year 12 results.

鈥淭he University has also committed to tracking the progress of these students during the course of the year, to determine whether they require further academic support and to provide it where needed,鈥� Professor Shaw says.
