The Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS) is for the admission of undergraduate students to UNSW Faculty of Engineering degree programs (including the BSc Computer Science and BSc Food Science & Technology).

Admission Process for Entry to UNSW Faculty of Engineering Programs in 2009
UAI 88.00+	Admission on basis of UAI (or equivalent)
UAI 75.00-87.95	Admission on basis of FEAS

FEAS Structure

The cut-off for admission to UNSW engineering programs in 2009 is expected to be a UAI (or equivalent) of 88.00. From experience the Faculty of Engineering has identified that a UAI (or equivalent) of 88.00 or above is an indication that domestic and international students who have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification have a good chance of success in our programs and these students will be considered for admission to UNSW Engineering programs on the basis of their UAI (or equivalent) only.

Below a UAI (or equivalent) of 88.00 the Faculty recognises that there are a number of factors which signal the potential of students to succeed in engineering programs. These factors include the UAI (or equivalent), ability in Mathematics, Physical Science, design and problem solving and attitude and motivation toward engineering studies.

Students who achieve a UAI (or equivalent) between 75.00 and 87.95 will be considered for admission under the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS).

Step 1	UAI (or equivalent)	75.00-87.95
Step 2	Subjects	Performance in relevant HSC subjects/Australian Yr12 subjects
Step 3	Interview* * Application required	Interview to assess additional factors related to engineering studies

If you anticipate achieving a UAI (or equivalent) between 75.00 and 87.95 then to maximise your opportunities for admission you are strongly encouraged to submit an application for an interview under the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS). At the interview, you will be able to meet with Engineering staff, exchange information and show how you are suited to engineering studies.

Applicants who do not submit a FEAS application for an interview will be considered under Step 1 and 2 of the Scheme.

Both 2008 Australian Year 12 and other applicants are eligible to apply for FEAS Step 3. Domestic applicants who have undertaken post-secondary or tertiary studies (eg. TAFE, University) may submit an FEAS application but will not be allocated an interview, as they will be considered on the basis of data received from the UAC. Information on the UAC application process is available at www.uac.edu.au.

Please note all domestic applicants must still lodge a UAC application for admission, and all offers are made through UAC (www.uac.edu.au).

International applicants who have completed a 2008 Australian Year 12, or 2008 International Baccalaureate in Australia, or a 2008 New Zealand NCEA Level 3 qualification must still lodge a UAC application, and all offers are made through UAC (www.uac.edu.au). International applicants who have undertaken secondary qualifications not listed above, post-secondary or tertiary studies (eg TAFE, University) apply for 2009 admission direct to UNSW and are not eligible for the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS). Further information is available on the UNSW website at www.unsw.edu.au/futureStudents/undergrad/sad/howtoapply.html
