New iPhone app finds courses for any ATAR

To help prospective students quickly calculate what courses they can study at Swinburne next year, the university has released a free ATAR calculator application for the iPhone.

Believed to be the first such iPhone app in Australia, it allows you to input any ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) and discover all available course options for study at Swinburne in 2011 (based on ‘clearly-in' ENTER scores from the 2010 intake).

The resulting list displays courses in descending score order. Scrolling down reveals all the degrees available followed by options at TAFE, so areas of interest can be fully explored.

"Prospective students can input their ATAR, choose a study area of interest, then hit the search button," said Swinburne Director of Marketing and Recruitment, Lee-ann Norris. "They can then scroll through the courses available and see what courses they can add to their preferences.

"The results should be used as a guide only as they are based on 2010 clearly-in ENTERs and do not take into account course demand and availability for 2011."

The app also links to further information about Swinburne, including the university's latest news and events and Twitter feed.

To download the app for your iPhone or iPad, search for Swinburne on the iTunes app store.
