View full details
ADMISSION REQUIREMENT
Selection WAM Calculation
WAM refers to Weighted Average Mark and is a numerical value out of 100 that is calculated from marks received in each completed unit.

For Allied Health courses with a competitive entry process the selection WAM (sWAM) will be calculated from all degree qualifications completed or due to be completed by 31 December the year prior to course commencement.

Results from any degree which will be incomplete as at 31 December of the application year will not be included in the sWAM calculation. The exception is where such studies have been applied as credit or advanced standing to a later degree which is due for completion by 31 December of the application year.

The sWAM will be determined for each included qualification and then weighted by overall duration. All marks received within or credited to a completed degree will be included, including Fail results.

All studies up to the application deadline will be included. Where an applicant qualifies for a course offer with a sWAM calculation which includes a degree due for completion by 31 December of the application year there will be a condition to meet the minimum sWAM of 65 in the final semester of study.

The sWAM will be rounded to two decimal places.

PhD holders will be automatically awarded a selection WAM of 85. This is regardless of other completed degree studies.

Student story
Ming Chua
As predicted by the UN, the world population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. We need to find ways to intensify agriculture to meet our needs but at the same time look after the environment we live in. I want to change the world for the better and make a difference. The opportunity to pick up a second major in Conservation Biology (with advanced standing) gives me the knowledge required to understand the link between conserving the environment while achieving optimal output in agriculture.

UWA is a world-class institution for Agriculture, with esteemed professors and researchers who provide us all the tools to excel.

One thing I enjoyed most about my course was the opportunity to attend the 16th International Students Summit in Tokyo with a classmate. I made so many friends from top agricultural universities and I am sure we will be working together in the future to solve major agricultural challenges.

Alumni Story

Matilda Cornes

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science (2015), Bachelor of Arts (Honours) (2016) and Master of Teaching (2018) graduate

I am a Humanities and Social Sciences, ATAR Geography and French teacher at Newman Senior High School. Through my role as a classroom teacher, I have had the opportunity to work on and lead the school's Instructional Site Team, where we work to ensure a consistent approach to teaching and learning across the school.

What I love most about my job is the problem solving and the opportunities for leadership. My favourite problem is how to teach my students in a way that is relevant and meaningful to them. As a Geography graduate, I love working in a new physical, and often cultural, context, and as a Geography teacher, I love learning from my students about their experiences of Newman, and helping them to develop new ways of understanding where they live and their connection to it.

The experience that was most important for my development was the interdisciplinary nature of my degree. While as an undergraduate student at UWA and on study abroad at Willamette University in Oregon, I completed units in Geography, Psychology, History of Art, French, German and Archaeology. Being interested in a wide range of subjects means not only do I have a few specialist teaching areas, but also that I am willing to teach outside of these and have confidence that I can find a way to connect to the content and skills as I have been exposed to different ways of thinking and finding meaning. Students can tell when you are knowledgeable and passionate and it helps you engage with them.

Alumni Testimonial Deborah Katona
I stumbled into finishing a History major almost by accident. I was advised to study subjects I found interesting and was naturally drawn to the history units; they extended my knowledge and I was challenged to think critically about issues raised. After graduating, I completed the graduate program at the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, although I've also had the opportunity to fill positions with other departments within the public service. The environment I work in can be demanding and complex, and I constantly apply the critical thinking, analysis and writing skills developed during my degree course in a professional setting.

Arts Alumni Testimonial David Bunting
I chose Archaeology because I could merge my interests of history, geography and anthropology with the outdoors. My studies and experiences have led to a number of opportunities working with a variety of Aboriginal groups as a consultant archaeologist with a range of resources companies such as FMG, Rio Tinto, Newcrest Mining and various government departments such as Main Roads. I have worked at BHP in a variety of heritage-related roles and have since shifted to a broader role which involves community development and sustainability planning.

Alumna story

Jessie Gordon

Bachelor of Arts Linguistics and Anthropology graduate, Jessie Gordon, is an internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning musician whose musical passions span across jazz, blues, gospel and roots music. She is a jazz blues vocalist, vintage jazz dancer, raconteur and self-proclaimed cheese enthusiast.
Jessie's passion for music has taken her around the world, touring Southeast Asia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the UK. She has won 15 Music and Cabaret awards at FRINGE WORLD Festival and has received 22 nominations. Jessie has collaborated with local Perth bands including Sassafras, Apocalypse Lounge, The Dirty Blues Band, Perth Cabaret Collective, and the Anatomically Incorrect Gentlemen, and recently released two albums with her original music, A Work of Fiction and Best Friends.

My degree

In 2004, Jessie graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Linguistics and Anthropology. Following graduation, she undertook an honours year in anthropology and began a PhD which she never completed, having succumbed to the lure of bright stage lights.

Have you ever seen a connection between Linguistics and jazz? As a matter of fact, many singers take a keen interest in the way linguistics helps understand languages. Here's what Jessie has to say about it:

"For me the intersection of language and music provides a constant tension in performance. There are so many interpretations of a melody that can support the lyric of a tune, or provide a counterpoint to it. I use the skills I learned in my arts degree every day to think analytically about musical and lyrical content and find new ways to interpret and communicate on stage.

Anthropology changed the way I looked at the world. I can't emphasise enough the impact it had on me. I still remember the profound revelation I experienced studying gender and sexuality, and also healing and medicine, through an anthropological lens."

Why UWA?

"I chose to study at UWA because my dad was a lecturer in Anthropology there, and he was a big part of my choice to continue to postgraduate studies. He very cunningly convinced me that I could combine my interests of music, dance, gender studies and anthropology all at the same time. He's a very clever man."

Student story
Ashley Marino

Marine Science has no geographical limits. When I was in Year 12 living in Albany, a town spoilt with incredible coastal environments, I dreamt of travelling, snorkelling, and living by the sea for the rest of my life. This major opens that possibility, with the added aspect of environmental consideration. Everything biological and atmospheric can be linked to the vast oceans. Marine Science can be applied globally, from the open ocean to local rivers and the atmospheric influences of winds and climate.

Throughout my course, my perspective of the world has been broadened. The students in my class share my passion for protecting our environment and their belief in a better future is contagious; it's easy to feel optimistic and determined when you're surrounded by kind-hearted people.

Everyone's aware of UWA's prestigious reputation, but really it was the relocation services and pleasant atmosphere that allowed me to picture myself living as a student here.

Dr Asha de Vos

Marine biologist, ocean educator and pioneering blue whale researcher

My passion is changing the way the world sees and interacts with the ocean and helping people be the best version of themselves. We are incredibly privileged to be alive and to live on this planet - but we only inherit it, we never own it. I am well aware of this and my work is about leaving the planet a better place than I found it with a focus on saving our oceans. I choose to do this by nurturing and training the next generation of diverse ocean heroes, students from typically under-represented nations, and other unlikely heroes like fishermen. I also like to engage people in stories about the magic of our oceans because the more people know about the ocean, the more likely they are to care and become part of the army that we need to drive change. They will become part of the solution and not just part of the problem.
