Before you compare

  • Entry ranks are a past year's, not a cut-off. Each is the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer, with the median rank where it's published, for the year shown. How ATARs really work
  • Teaching, experience and graduate jobs come from QILT's national surveys of teaching students and graduates at each university, shown against the national average.
  • Completion rates cover all of a university's bachelor students, not teaching alone, and partly reflect who a university enrols.
  • Cost: about $4,908 a year for every course here, the 2027 student contribution. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.Estimate
  • Where graduates end up: three years after graduating, 95.3% of teaching graduates are in full-time work nationally, with a median salary of $92,600. National figure, all universities (2025 GOS-L).

How entry usually works: Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite, and initial teacher education also requires a non-academic suitability assessment and a working with children check before placements.
