Additional selection criteria

It is recommended that prospective students attend an interview in either Sydney or Bathurst in late November or early December. The interview is completely informal and relaxed and is designed to ensure that you have the opportunity to gain first-hand information that will help you make an informed decision about your course.

Year 12 students are eligible for admission on the basis of their NSW Universities Admission Index (UAI), or interstate equivalent, and assessment of a questionnaire and a short essay which are sent in October. This information is sent to all UAC applicants. All other applicants are also required to complete the questionnaire and essay. Late applicants must contact the University for the questionnaire/essay topic or interview times.

The questionnaire/essay (and other support material) must be sent to the School of Communication by December in the year prior to entry for consideration. For further information please telephone info.csu on 1800 334 733.
