Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying teacher education

Teaching degrees combine subject knowledge and teaching method with supervised placements in schools. To register as a teacher you need an accredited initial teacher education degree. Not every degree in this area is one, so check before you apply.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into teacher education courses

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.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

What this course asks for beyond your ATAR

Before you can start placement you will need a police check or working with children check. This does not affect whether you get in. It is worth knowing early because some of it takes time to organise.

We show that these requirements exist, not what they currently say, because universities change them and we would rather send you to the source than repeat something out of date. Check the current requirements with SATAC.
