Tutors Online

What is AUSMAT?

AUSMAT (Australian Matriculation) is a pre-university programme equivalent to the Western Australian Year 12 (WACE — Western Australian Certificate of Education). It is administered in Malaysia at Taylor's College and prepares students for Australian university entry. It is based on the Western Australia curriculum.

Which universities accept AUSMAT?

AUSMAT is primarily designed for entry to Australian universities — particularly the University of Western Australia, but also Curtin University, Monash University, ANU and others. Some UK universities also accept it. Malaysian students at Taylor's who complete AUSMAT can apply to Australian universities using their ATAR score.

How is AUSMAT graded?

Subjects are assessed through coursework and WACE external examinations. The ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) is calculated based on scaled scores in the best combination of subjects. An ATAR of 85+ is competitive for most Australian degree programmes; 95+ for the most selective programmes.
