Studies as part of the Australian Government's Higher Education Relief Package had to commence in Term 2 and be completed by the end of December. As Term 2 studies commenced on the 1st of June, it is now too late to apply for entry into the Graduate Certificate's included under this program as part of the subsided program.
Some programs may be offered in future intakes however the fees will not be discounted. Others may have limited CSP places or no CSP places available in future intakes.
The proposed fee changes are still pending Government approval. Sign up to our newsletter to stay up to date!
UNSW has no formal pre-requisite subjects for any degree. Instead, we have Assumed Knowledge which is the level of understanding we suggest you have in order to be comfortable commencing your chosen degree. You may find your first year a little more challenging than other students who have studied at this level.
If you have not studied the Assumed Knowledge subjects, you will still be made an offer to study with us, provided you are eligible (meet the ATAR or equivalent).
Bridging courses are available at UNSW and other institutions that can help prepare you if you didn’t study the subject at high school. These courses are entirely voluntary and further information regarding the schedule for 2020 can be found here.
Domestic and International students applying to transfer to UNSW will be assessed depending on how much tertiary study they have completed. Please note that we will only use your high school results if we accept your qualification, and if this qualification was achieved more than five years ago, assessment will be based solely on your university results.
- If you have studied one year full-time in one degree (studying at least 0.75 of a full-time study load - which is between 36 to 48 Units of Credit (UOC) - you will be assessed either on your high school results or overall university results, whichever is the higher.
- If you have studied less than 0.75 of a full-time year - less than 36 UOC - your assessment reverts to your high school results.
- If you have studied more than one year full-time - more than 48 UOC - then you will be assessed for entry based on 25% high school results and 75% university results.
Please note that our Medicine and Law programs will assess you differently. You can refer to the Future Students website for more information.
