The wait is almost over. ATAR results will soon be in, and university is on the horizon. UNSW Info Day, on Saturday 17 December, is the perfect time to visit campus and plan your future.
UNSW is expanding data available to prospective students by publishing details of its first semester offers. With information on the range of ATARs of school leavers offered places in each degree, students can better understand the cohorts they seek to join.
