Elite Athletes and Performers (EAP) Bonus Points
If you have excelled in leadership, performing arts, academic achievement or sports on a national or international level, you may be eligible for EAP Bonus Points. Applicants can receive a maximum of five bonus points for entry to their preferred UNSW undergraduate degree. UNSW also provides support to elite athletes and performers through its EAP Support Program once students commence studies with us. The Support Program helps athletes and performers integrate academic life with external pursuits by offering enrolment flexibility, study options and leave of absence for travel commitments.
For further information on how to apply, what degrees the points count towards, and application closing date please visit the website unsw.edu.au/eap.
Educational disadvantage
Life isn't always smooth sailing. Things like illness, financial hardship, language difficulties and attending a disadvantaged school may mean you don't always get your best marks in years 11 and 12. If these, or similar situations apply to you, the ACCESS Scheme may be for you. Visit unsw.edu.au/access.
