The University has a mathematics prerequisite for some courses. This means that to study certain degrees, students will need to achieve a Band 4 in the NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) Mathematics Advanced (not general mathematics) or the equivalent in another qualification.

If students don't meet the mathematics requirement, they may be able to:

  • complete the Mathematics MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) and exam
  • apply for and enrol in a course that does not have mathematics prerequisites and then apply to transfer to a course that does require the prerequisites after completing the required studies in mathematics (as specified by the University) 

We offer a large number of scholarships for both domestic and international undergraduate students. Students are encouraged to explore their options, as scholarships are awarded on a wide range of criteria including equity, merit and intended area of study.

With more than 100 study areas to choose from, the shared pool of majors and minors (available in certain degrees) allows students to combine their interests and develop expertise in a second field of study, building cross-disciplinary knowledge from areas outside their primary degree.

For instance, they will be able to enjoy studying science while exploring their interest in history; or combine their major in marketing with the study of digital cultures.

We have 250+ partner universities in over 40 countries, giving students the opportunity to take short-term, semester and year-long exchanges. They can also study at overseas field schools, take in-country intensives, short-term summer programs, overseas professional placements, and even virtual experiences.
