FAQs

• How much does it cost to study at university?

  

  Course fees for UNSW programs are listed on the relevant degree finder pages under the “fees and scholarships” section. As a domestic undergraduate student, you will be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place, meaning the government will pay a portion of your course fees. You can choose to pay the outstanding amount (known as the “student contribution amount”) upfront as you study, or through HECS-HELP, an Australian Government Scheme that allows you to defer payment of your course fees until you are earning above a certain threshold. For more information about HECS-HELP, please visit Study Assist. As well as your course fees, it is important to consider other costs relevant to studying at university. Many students purchase things to assist their studies including laptop computers, stationery, and textbooks.

• What is a “major” and “minor” and how do they work?

  

  A major is an area that you choose to study in-depth during your degree to become your area of specialisation. For example, if you choose to study the Bachelor of Science, you may decide to complete a major in genetics and hence you would graduate with a Bachelor of Science (Genetics). You will complete a sequence of courses to meet the requirements for your major and be recognised as having that specialised knowledge. A minor is a shorter sequence of courses and will give you some level of specialisation in a given area, however not at the level of a major. Many degrees, though not all, will require you to select at least one major, and many generalist degrees will also offer you the opportunity to complete a minor. For information regarding the approved majors for our courses, you can check the Undergraduate Guide, opens in a new window.

• What adjustment factors am I eligible for?

  

  There are three adjustment factor schemes at UNSW available for domestic high school leavers: The HSC Plus scheme rewards up to five points for strong performance in relevant subjects to the degree/s you are applying for. No separate application is required, and you can use our HSC Plus calculator online. The Elite Athletes, Performers and Leaders Program recognises achievements outside of the classroom and you may be eligible for up to five points. You'll need to submit an application to UNSW providing supporting documentation. Applications are now closed and open in August each year. The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) is designed to level the playing field and help students who have experienced educational disadvantage receive an offer. EAS applications are submitted via the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). Application deadlines will vary per offer round, you'll need to refer to UAC’s key dates for more information. Adjustment factors can add points to your ATAR to increase your selection rank, and across all three of these schemes, a cumulative maximum of 12 points can be used toward 2025 admission. Not every degree is eligible under each scheme, hence it’s important to note which ones you might be eligible for and which ones require additional applications.

• Does UNSW have university pre-requisites?

  

  At UNSW, we don’t have prerequisite courses. Instead, we have assumed knowledge. This means that your academics will teach you assuming that you have studied certain subjects (or equivalent). Receiving an offer to study at UNSW is not dependent on you having studied that subject, we will only look at your Selection Rank (your raw ATAR plus any Adjustment Factors you may be eligible for). Bridging courses are a great way to bring you up to speed before you start your degree. At UNSW we offer bridging courses in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. The Undergraduate Guide lists assumed knowledge for each degree.
