UNSW Preparation Program (UNSW Prep 17-19)
At UNSW we know that school is not the peak of everyone’s academic career. Sometimes circumstances beyond your control can get in the way of results that reflect your true potential.
If you are keen to study at uni but have faced challenges in year 11 and 12 that make you eligible for the UNSW ACCESS Scheme, and you don't meet the cut-off for degree entry, we want you to consider UNSW Prep.
UNSW Prep is a one year (18 months for Engineering) pathway to a UNSW degree place. You study subjects that allow you to develop your academic skills, including maths skills if needed, so that you can achieve your best results. You also study degree level courses from week one, to give you a realistic introduction to university level study. If you do well in these courses you can earn course credit towards your degree.

Things to know
UNSW Preparation Program (UNSW Prep)
Can you start later?
If you are offered a UNSW Prep place you can apply to defer your studies. This means that you are given a place on the program but you can delay starting your studies for up to two years, providing you still meet the age requirement. This might allow you to work and save some money or fulfil family responsibilities, but if you study at Diploma level or higher during that time, you will lose your UNSW Prep place.
