The University of Western Australia has become the first university in WA and one of the first in Australia to make publicly available its Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) entry data.

UWA’s move follows the Federal Government’s push for universities to provide greater transparency in their admissions processes amid claims that entry standards are slipping and students with low ATARs are gaining entry to university courses.

UWA Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Johnson said the University’s website now provided details of its median, upper and lower quartile ATAR scores by course and the percentage of entry based on an ATAR.

“On our website students, parents and members of the community are able to see the standards UWA places on gaining entry to one of the world’s top 100 universities,” Professor Johnson said.
