Bachelor of Commerce
at The University of Western Australia, Western Australia.
A three-year commerce degree at UWA Perth; the lowest selection rank has matched UWA's 80.00 minimum for three intakes. There is no subject prerequisite beyond English competence (a scaled score of 50 in English, Literature or EAL/D ATAR, or a C grade), but students without Mathematics Applications or Methods ATAR take first-year maths units.
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the UWA Bachelor of Commerce for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.

| 2025 | 80.00 | tisc.edu.au |
