Admission

New undergraduate engineering students with a UAC preference for The University of Sydney.

Admission for Australian students completing the HSC, or equivalent in other States, (also onshore international students, offshore Australian permanent residents and citizens, and permanent residents and citizens of NZ) is through the University Admission Centre (UAC). We cannot admit you unless you have applied through UAC and meet their requirements.

Admission for HECS tertiary students wishing to transfer from other universities must also apply through UAC.

University/Faculty Admission criteria:

The University publishes its entry rankings, Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) for all its degrees and in the UAC Handbook.

Special admission criteria also apply and these can also be found on this website
