How to apply


Admission to UNSW is based on academic merit. If you are seeking admission to an undergraduate program you must be able to provide evidence that you have the potential for tertiary study.

For admission purposes there are two groups of applicants to UNSW programs:

  • Local applicants are classified as Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or New Zealand citizens
  • International applicants are classified as citizens of a country other than Australia or New Zealand

Local applicants
Local applicants (as classified above) must have completed Year 12 in Australia and must apply through theUniversities Admissions Centre (UAC). Please use the UAC code provided in the undergraduate program you wish to study when applying.

International applicants
International applicants completing an Australian Year 12 (either in Australia or offshore), the NZ NCEA Level 3 qualification or the International Baccalaureate (IB) in Australia, should apply via UAC International at theUniversities Admissions Centre (UAC).

All other international applicants who have completed or are completing qualifications other than those listed above should apply directly to UNSW. Please read the UNSW step by step guide to applying for an undergraduate program.

Can I transfer between programs?
A minimum of 6 courses must be completed before re-applying to UAC for transfer into a program with a higher Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR). UAC will assess your request for transfer on the basis of your ATAR result and the academic results from your studies at university. UNSW offers their students the option of an internal program transfer.

How do I apply for a program?
Local students who have completed Year 12 in Australia apply through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) www.uac.edu.au. International students who have completed Year 12 in Australia or the International Baccalaureate (IB) also apply through UAC. All other international students apply directly to UNSW at www.apply.unsw.edu.au
