Endeavour College is a direct entry College with no ATAR requirements.

To gain entry to an accredited undergraduate course at Endeavour College, applicants must satisfy the general requirements and other entry requirements by type of background.

General Requirements – All Applicants

All domestic applicants, regardless of background, must meet the following requirements:

• Must be 18 years of age within the first period of study
• Must meet self-declared minimum computer literacy standards and have unrestricted access to the internet and a personal email account

• For Bachelor of Health Science courses which involve clinical practicum subjects, a valid Working with Children Check (or its equivalent) will be normally required to be supplied to the College prior to the second period of study. If the applicant knows of any reason why they will not pass a Working with Children Check, they should not apply for entry to these courses.

Additional applicant background entry requirements (including English language and international students) are available through enquiring with the College.

Endeavour College offers the flexibility to commence all 1st year subjects online with an updated digital delivery model.

To support learning, students attend practical classes where they are expected to practise interviewing and case assessment techniques, as well as physical clinical examination and treatment procedures. This is conducted under the supervision of qualified instructors and with respect for privacy, cultural and religious differences. Students gain significant clinical experience at Endeavour’s Teaching Clinics under the supervision of qualified practitioners.

In the clinics, students will develop and hone all skills required for professional clinical practise (and to run a successful clinic after graduation), including patient assessment and management, patient recruitment and continuity of care, customer service and dispensary management.
