Admission criteria
Bachelor of Environmental Science (with specialisations)
Applicants are normally expected to hold the NSW HSC or recognised equivalent. Admission will be based upon UAI score. Applicants who do not hold the HSC or recognised equivalent need to meet the minimum requirements for 'other' admission as set by the University. As admission quotas apply, applications must be ranked. For ranking purposes, applications are assessed on a combination of work or industry experience, evidence of academic ability (studies undertaken) and where applicable, demonstrated skills or proficiency as required for the course for which admission is being sought.
