UAI cut-off
UAI Cut-offs vary from year to year and are impossible to predict
before applicants are selected for a particular degree in a particular
year: it depends on the number of people applying for a specific course
and the strength of their academic qualifications. However, the 2008
cut-offs as displayed below provide an indication of the possible cut-offs
for entry in 2009.
UNSW rewards by means of a bonus point system, known as
HSC Plus, good performance in Year 12 courses related to applicants’
choice of undergraduate degree.

Books and Equipments
Don't rush out to buy anything before your first class. Academic staff will advise you as
to essential equipment and text books.
In general studio based programs will have higher additional costs than non-studio based programs.
Costs for books, stationary and equipment vary greatly, but you should allow approximately $1000 a
year for these expenses. This figure excludes computing requirements.
Living Expenses
There are a number of factors which will influence your cost of living, for example, rent will
vary considerable depending on the type of property and its location. Other essential costs are food,
transport, entertainment, clothing and any incidental expenses related to your programs such as field trips.
As a general guide, students should have at least $2000 to cover the initial establishment expenses such
as rental bond and basic furniture, and allow for average weekly expenses of about $350.
