2022 international undergraduate entry

Two ATAR adjustment points will be applied to the published ATAR entry requirements for international students commencing in 2022*. This will allow the University to provide consideration for international applicants whose learning has been impacted by COVID-19.

If you have questions about the process or would like to speak to us about your course, please contact a regional manager or email international.admissions@sydney.edu.au.

*Note: This adjustment is not applicable to certain courses and qualifications.

How does the ATAR adjustment point apply?

International applicants who satisfy course prerequisites will automatically have two ATAR adjustment points added to their ATAR score (or equivalent score converted to ATAR) at the point of application.

Here is an example of how the ATAR adjustment is applied.

Sample course	Published ATAR	Student's ATAR	Score after adjustment
Bachelor of Arts	80	78	80
Bachelor of Engineering (flexible first year)	85	83	85

What if my qualification does not have ATAR?

For students who studied International Baccalaureate (IB), A-Levels or other international secondary education qualifications, the scores will be converted to ATAR equivalent, and then the COVID related adjustment will be applied.

Here is an example of how the ATAR adjustment point is applied on an IB Diploma.

Sample course	Published IB	Student's IB score	Score after adjustment
Bachelor of Commerce	36	35	36

Are all international secondary education qualifications recognised?

The adjustment will apply to most of the international secondary education qualifications accepted by the University for applicants applying for courses commencing in 2022.

The adjustments do not apply to Gao Kao or Foundation program scores. Any ATAR adjustments will be applied by admissions at the assessment stage.
