Assumed Knowledge
UNSW assumes that a prospective student has an Assumed Knowledge of specified HSC subjects or equivalent before they begin studying at UNSW. If they do not have this standard then they are strongly advised to undertake a Bridging Program.
Any other application requirements are always noted in the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) Guide. Universities Admissions Centre. Please read the UAC Guide carefully and see below at faculty activities for some programs which require auditions, interviews or further application.
