Successful completion provides entry to Federation University and credit for both subjects in your first year of study. Entry to some courses may also be subject to additional requirements (e.g. ATAR, VCE pre-requisites).
The ATAR increment is calculated as follows. The student's final score in their Federation higher education study (two units), may result in an additional ATAR score increment.
Only one higher education study (two units studied over two semesters in one year) is approved in the VCE and for the ATAR increment.
