What is Experience-based entry and how do I apply?

Answer ID 3414 | Last updated on 28/10/2024 11.21 AM

Experience-based entry (EBE) allows you to apply for a select number of undergraduate bachelor’s degrees using a combination of academic qualifications and life experiences.

These academic qualifications or life experiences may be complete or in complete and may include records of extra-curricular activities, community engagement, volunteering, life and sporting achievements, trade awards, work experience, references and an updated resume outlining your employment history and duties.

We will assess all your qualifications using a points system where points will be awarded for each item submitted, and the total number of points will determine your eligibility for your chosen course.
