About this program

OnTrack Sprint is an intensive four-week enabling course that qualifies successful completers to apply directly for any Murdoch University undergraduate degree requiring a Selection Rank of 70 or less, though it is not a guaranteed pathway into the Bachelor of Nursing. It is designed as an adult learning environment that helps students develop study habits and learning strategies, access tuition to build academic skills to undergraduate level, and build a network of peer and academic support. Eligibility is limited to Australian or New Zealand citizens or permanent residents, and people who have arrived in Australia under a humanitarian or refugee visa, so it is not available to international student visa holders. For the Trimester 1, 2027 intake, applicants must have completed Year 12 within the past 18 months. The course runs from 4 to 29 January 2027, with classes Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 3:30pm.
