The Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Scheme encourages students to strengthen their preparation for higher studies by studying a language other than English, or specified English and Mathematics subjects. The Scheme applies to most undergraduate courses. The exceptions are:
Adelaide University
- ABP171 Bachelor of Medical Studies
- ABP271 Bachelor of Medical Studies (Bonded Medical Program)
- ABP213 Bachelor of Science (Veterinary Bioscience)
Charles Darwin University
- 104661 Bachelor of Clinical Sciences (double degree with Flinders University’s Doctor of Medicine (MD) in the Northern Territory)
Flinders University
- 214941 Bachelor of Clinical Sciences/Doctor of Medicine
For other courses SATAC will adjust your aggregate by either 2 points (for one eligible subject) or 4 points (for 2 or more eligible subjects).
To be eligible you must successfully complete a subject in any one of these four categories:
- 20 credits of a LOTE in the Languages Learning Area (not including the subject Language and Culture)*
- 2ESH20 English or 2ELS20 English Literary Studies
- 2MHS20 Mathematical Methods
- 2MSC20 Specialist Mathematics
You can substitute a 20 credit LOTE subject for two 10 credit Australian Indigenous language subjects. Successful completion means gaining a minimum grade of C- or better in the subject. Extra points are not awarded for higher achievement. Applicants studying the International Baccalaureate diploma, or other Australian senior secondary certificates, are also eligible for subject-based adjustments.
