Accommodation
Living on campus at UNSW Australia provides more than just a place to live. It provides a home - as supportive, safe and secure, as a true home should be.
You can choose from fully catered or self-catered residential colleges on campus, independent living on campus, or renting privately in the local area. You’ll find more information at the UNSW Accommodation website.
Alternative Admission
UNSW recognizes that sometimes your ATAR or equivalent may not reflect your true potential. Some of our degrees offer alternative admission schemes to give you the opportunity to gain entry to a degree you originally may have missed out on.
Portfolio Entry
UNSW accepts portfolios in conjunction with your ATAR (or equivalent) for students who are expecting an ATAR within 10 points of the cut‐off for some degrees with Art & Design (formerly COFA) and Built Environment.
Built Environment Portfolio Entry
Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme (FEAS)
The Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS) provides alternative admission to most of the UNSW Faculty of Engineering degree programs (including the BSc Computer Science and BSc Food Science & Technology). Find more information on FEAS below.
Bachelor of Information Systems Admissions Scheme (BISAS)
The Bachelor of Information Systems Admissions Scheme (BISAS) at UNSW Australia offers an alternative pathway for domestic students into the Bachelor of Information Systems program. Click below for more information.
Educational Disadvantage
Life isn’t always smooth sailing. Things like illness, financial hardship, language difficulties and school environment can mean you don’t always get your best marks in year 11 and 12.
So if you are trying to get into university, the ACCESS Scheme might be for you. You can find out more about the ACCESS scheme below.
Exchange
At UNSW, there are so many ways to incorporate an exchange adventure into your degree and study in a country you're passionate about. You just have to decide on when and where.
UNSW offers exchange opportunities at over 250 universities in 31 countries. Basing yourself in Asia, North America, Europe or South America at one of the world's top universities, you could learn a new language, get to know a different culture, establish global professional networks and make lasting international friendships.
All UNSW students who meet the criteria are eligible to apply for exchange and there are even scholarships to help you on your way. Students can go on exchange for a semester or for one year. If you enrol in some degrees, such as the Bachelor of International Studies, one-year on exchange is built right into your degree.
For more information, visit the UNSW International website.

Indigenous Students
Nura Gili provides support and information for future and current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at UNSW.
Future students can apply through the UNSW Indigenous Admissions Scheme, which is administred by Nura Gili in conjunction with the Faculties and Schools across the university. For those interested in studying Business, Education, Law, Medicine or Social Work, Nura Gili provides Pre-Programs to students who are looking to explore and apply for entry to undergraduate degrees at UNSW in these areas.
Nura Gili also organises a number of popular programs such as the UNSW Indigenous Winter School for students in Years 10, 11 and 12.
For current students, staff are available to assist students with academic and administrative issues, housing and scholarships and pastoral support. The unit also manages the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) and facilitates programs to recruit and support Indigenous students at UNSW at all levels of study.
Internal Program Transfer
Maybe you didn’t get it right when you chose your degree or maybe you didn’t get into the degree you wanted to do in the first place. Either way, if you would like to change the UNSW degree you’re currently studying, then you can apply for an internal transfer.
Find out more about the internal program transfer requirements below.
Scholarships
Each year we provide hundreds of scholarships to help students of all circumstances reach their educational goals.
Scholarships are offered in a broad range of categories including rural, Indigenous, academic merit, sports, equity and access, accommodation, travel and exchange, as well as for specific degrees and faculties.
We're able to offer such a wide range of scholarships and awards thanks to the generosity of UNSW alums, corporate and private donors. These are people who believe in UNSW and the quality of our graduates and want to support you along the way.
To search and apply for scholarships, visit the UNSW Scholarships website.
UNSW Prep Program
We don’t want to miss out on great students. If you are eligible for the ACCESS Scheme, or are an Indigenous student applying via Nura Gili, you can also apply for UNSW Prep.
UNSW Prep will give you time to develop core academic skills in smaller classes with excellent tutors. Starting your UNSW studies gradually, so that you can excel throughout your degree is what UNSW Prep is all about. That’s not to say it’s easy. Application is competitive and to be considered you will need to show motivation and interest in your preferred study area and achieve an ATAR of at least 50.
For more information, visit the UNSW Prep website.
