Alternate pathways
At UNSW Engineering, we recognise that everyone’s journey to university looks different and that your potential isn't defined by a single result.
To expand your study options, we offer admission pathways that look beyond grades and recognises your experiences, strengths and readiness to succeed at university. We’re looking for students who are ready to take on the challenges of engineering and use their skills to make a real world difference.
Admission pathways
At UNSW, we understand that everyone has different circumstances and that talent and ambition can be demonstrated in many ways.
Our range of admission pathways look beyond your ATAR, helping you find a pathway that matches your goals and learning potential. Admission pathways can help you enter your desired engineering degree, drawing on your experience, background and motivation to succeed.

Young Women in Engineering Pathway Program
The UNSW Young Women in Engineering Pathway Program is an alternate pathway program designed to support greater participation and confidence in engineering study. It’s for high school students* in Year 11 and 12 who have an interest in studying engineering and plan to apply for an eligible engineering degree at UNSW Sydney.
The program runs for five weeks from February to March, giving students hands-on exposure to engineering study and a chance to learn alongside like-minded peers. There is capacity for 120 motivated students to participate each year.
Visit our Young Women in Engineering Pathway Program page for more information including how to apply, registration information, FAQs and more.
*Inclusive of young women, non-binary and gender diverse students.
