Learn about how our selection ranks are calculated (including ATARs and adjustment factors).

Charles Sturt takes a holistic approach to understand each applicant's potential for academic success. Each student is assessed on a range of factors including academic readiness, previous study, work and life experience, motivation to succeed, and awareness of the demands of tertiary study.

Applicants will be admitted to the Bachelor of Education (TAS) if prior studies are assessed as meeting the Selection Rank for the course (see below). This includes applicants who meet the selection rank but have NOT achieved three HSC Band 5's with one of those in English. This requirement is met through the course design which has students studying a full first year of discipline studies in the subjects they will teach. In addition, applicants must meet non-academic entry requirements.

Applicants with recent secondary education (within past two years): Minimum ATAR required (including adjustment factors).
