High school students

Course preferencing
Figuring out what order to put your courses in can be tricky. Decide on your priorities and do your research. Location, student support, work experience options – what are you looking for?
VTAC offers
When you submit your course preference list to VTAC, they’ll work out what your highest-placed university offer is. First-round offers are released in late December (after ATARs are available).
Alternative entry
If you’ve got a uni course in mind but you don’t meet the entrance requirements, consider doing a pathway course. And if mainstream school isn't working out, VCE Vocational Major at Federation College might be a better fit.

Early Offer program
Apply for an Early Offer and you’ll be guaranteed a place at Federation (as long as you meet the course prerequisites). You’ll also get exclusive access to course advice, career counselling and industry partners.

Pathways through TAFE
Did you know that you can start a TAFE course while you're still at school? If you prefer hands-on learning, find out how you can dive into vocational training and get a head start on your future career.
