Entry Paths

UNSW has several paths of entry, each catering to a different type of student. Please note, this is a guide only - refer to the relevant websites for full details.

Current Australian HSC
(including off-shore),
New Zealand NCEA and IB
(in Australia) students
International Students
(not in Australia)
The Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS) is for the admission of undergraduate students to UNSW Faculty of Engineering degree programs (including the BSc Computer Science and BSc Food Science & Technology).

HSC Plus
HSC Plus is a program rewarding performance in Australian Senior Secondary Certificate [Year 12] courses relevant to UNSW undergraduate programs by means of a bonus points system.

No separate application is required beyond the usual UAC application.

Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS)
If you anticipate achieving a UAI (or equivalent) between 80.00 and 89.95 then to maximise your opportunities for admission you are strongly encouraged to submit an application for an interview under FEAS.

Application for admission is via the usual UAC application.


Diploma in Science, Engineering and Technology (Dip SET)
This diploma program is an enabling program that provides a flexible pathway for those students who generally meet UNSW's minimum entry requirement (that is, a UAI or equivalent of no less than 70.00), but who have a range of gaps in their assumed knowledge and consequently do not meet the necessary entry requirements for Engineering and Science.

Apply through UAC.
