Non-year 12 Applicants

You still apply for entry to university through UAC. For more information please see the UAC website.

This applies to you if: you did not attempt an Australian Year 12 qualification in 2007 or an International Baccalaureate (IB) in Australia in 2007; or are attempting a Queensland Year 12 external student; or are attempting a New Zealand National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) Level 3; or received an offer through UAC last year and were granted deferment.

Here you will find some important information you might need before you get your offer. Below are the important dates over the next few months, including offer release dates. There are also details about UAI's for courses and scholarships for the University of Sydney.

UAI's for our courses are dependent on supply and demand so they may change slightly depending on how many students apply for a particular course. However you can use the previous year's UAI as a guide to what you will need. If your marks are just on the entry border, please read the information on Flexible Entry and other education access schemes offered by the University.

The main entry scholarship for school leavers is the University of Sydney scholarships (entry, merit or outstanding achievement) available to all students entering the university.
