Applying for admission
Domestic students can apply for a Domestic Full Fee place (UAC code: 980205) and/or a Commonwealth Supported Place (UAC code: 980200). Offers are made on a rolling basis via UAC and will commence in September when domestic applications open. Accepting an earlier offer from another Law School will not affect your Sydney JD application. You will still receive an offer if you are eligible. Accepting a fee offer from Sydney does not affect your CSP preference. You will be assessed if places are still available in later rounds.
International students apply directly to the University at any time.
Transferring from another Juris Doctor
If you have completed one year or equivalent of a Juris Doctor program at another institution, you will be assessed on the grade point average of your first-year JD studies. You may gain credit for the year you have studied; however, we will determine this at enrolment. We cannot consider you for admission if you have completed more than one year of a Juris Doctor at another institution. To apply for a Commonwealth supported places, you need a distinction average (domestic applicants only). To apply for a full-fee place, you need a credit average.
Transfer from full-fee place to Commonwealth-supported place (domestic applicants only)
If you accept a full-fee place in the Juris Doctor, you can reapply in subsequent years for a Commonwealth-supported places after you have completed at least one year (48 credit points) or equivalent. Assessment is based on your grade point average for your first and any subsequent years. You need a distinction average.
Gadigal Program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
The Gadigal Program assists Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students with admission to the JD by allowing them to tell more about their interests, motivation and goals, rather than just considering academic results. More information may be found under Admissions Pathways including the postgraduate Gadigal application form.
