The cut-off for admission to UNSW engineering programs in 2010 is expected to be an ATAR (or equivalent) of 91.00.
Below an ATAR (or equivalent) of 91.00 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 ATAR (or equivalent), ability in Mathematics, Physical Science, design and problem solving and attitude and motivation toward engineering studies.
If you anticipate achieving an ATAR (or equivalent) between 81.00 and 90.95 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.
Both 2009 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.
The online application for the 2010 Admission Round will be available on this website from 1 August 2009. Applications close Friday 18th September 2009. Interviews will be held 7 to 9 October 2009 at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.
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 are completing an Australian Year 12 qualification – whether in Australia or overseas – must lodge a UAC application for admission, and all offers are made through UAC (www.uac.edu.au).
