What are the minimum subject requirements for tertiary entrance in Victoria?
VCE
The satisfactory completion of the VCE including English Units 3 and 4 (chosen from English, English as a Second Language, Literature or English Language) is the minimum entrance requirement for all tertiary institutions. Units 3 and 4 of English (any) must be a completed as a sequence and in the same calendar year.

VCAL
The VCAL aims to provide the skills, knowledge and attitudes to enable students to make informed choices of pathways to work and to further learning. Personal development, the utilisation of a student’s particular interests, and new pathways for senior secondary students, in the context of applied learning, are underpinning principles of the VCAL. VCAL is not designed as a pathway to higher education. Individual universities and TAFEs may recognise VCAL for entry to some courses; applicants should contact the institution to enquire about recognition of VCAL for entry purposes.
