High school students

Knowing what you want to do after school can be hard. Choosing a career right now? It’s a lot. Instead, consider other aspects of uni – the location, the alternative entry options, the academic and financial help available. Federation is a regional university with a lot to offer.

Course preferencing

Figuring out what order to put your courses in can be tricky. Decide on your priorities and do your research. Location, student support, work experience options – what are you looking for?

VTAC offers

When you submit your course preference list to VTAC, they’ll work out what your highest-placed university offer is. First-round offers are released in late December (after ATARs are available).

Alternative entry

If you’ve got a uni course in mind but you don’t meet the entrance requirements, consider doing a pathway course. Improve your academic skills, boost your confidence and get where you want to be.
