Senior Secondary College in Tasmania comprises years 11 and 12 of school, during which students are studying for University entry.

Tertiary Entrance Score (TE)

Students who apply for entrance to university degree and diploma courses must compete for places. Selection for most courses is based on the Tertiary Entrance score (TE). Students receive a score for each pre-tertiary subject they complete.

International Students

International students who are intending to continue to university must satisfy the following requirements:

• You must obtain a Satisfactory Achievement (SA) or higher result in five pre-tertiary (level 5) subjects.
• At least three of the pre-tertiary (level 5) subjects must be taken in Year 12.

All Colleges have International Student Advisers who will help you select the subjects that you need for admission to university or other training options.
