The Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Scheme encourages students to strengthen their preparation for higher studies by studying a language other than English, or specified English and Mathematics subjects.
The Scheme applies to most undergraduate courses. The exceptions are:
Charles Darwin University

SATAC will adjust your aggregate by either 2 points (for one eligible subject) or 4 points (for 2 or more eligible subjects).
To be eligible you must successfully complete a subject in any one of these four categories:
- 20 credits of a LOTE in the Languages Learning Area (not including the subject Language and Culture)*
- 2ESH20 English or 2ELS20 English Literary Studies
- 2MHS20 Mathematical Methods
- 2MSC20 Specialist Mathematics
* You can substitute a 20 credit LOTE subject for two 10 credit Australian Indigenous language subjects
Successful completion means gaining a minimum grade of C- or better in the subject. Extra adjustments are not awarded for higher achievement
Applicants studying the International Baccalaureate Diploma in Australia, or other Australian senior secondary certificates, are also eligible for subject-based adjustments.
