Australian Tertiary Admission Rank cut-offs for popular university courses are expected to soar next year unless surging demand from domestic students is met with an increase in places.
ATARs for some popular courses are likely to soar next year unless universities can find more domestic places.Kim Paino, head of marketing and engagement at the Universities Admissions Centre, said stronger demand would not affect students' own ATAR but could push up entry cut-offs for popular degrees with limited numbers unless extra places were created.
"A change in policy will give us, and the rest of the sector, the opportunity to teach more domestic students and ensure school leavers and workers displaced by COVID don't miss out on a place next year," she said. Professor of education policy at Melbourne University, Frank Larkins, said many universities based offers on factors other than the ATAR, and had special provisions for students from disadvantaged or Indigenous backgrounds. Many had also widened their early entry schemes in response to COVID-19.
While border restrictions are likely to cut numbers of full fee-paying international students next year, those places cannot automatically be filled by local students because domestic enrolments are subsidised by the Commonwealth. Domestic students are not allowed to pay full fees.
JordsBaker Last year uni applications weren’t open until late August. Unis have rushed to scoop up every possible student for 2021 by opening applications early. This article is misleading.
JordsBaker No upfront paying overseas students = no domestic students. You do the math, this is how it works.
JordsBaker There are thousands of Year 10 kids choosing their Year 11 & 12 electives right now, from booklets chockers full of messaging about ATARs that are wrong from today if you believe this article.
JordsBaker Student unions need to step up and be heard by our infighting pollies. The government has demonstrated no interest in educating our Aussie kids.
