Faculty of Arts Early Entry

Looking to secure a place at UOW in an Arts program before you sit the HSC?

The Early Entry Program allows current Year 12 students to apply for early acceptance into the following courses offered by the Faculty of Arts:

Single degrees offered through Early Entry

Double degrees offered through Early Entry

Note:
The Bachelor of Arts (Dean's Scholars) and the International Bachelor of Communication & Media Studies (Honours) degrees are not offered through the Early Entry program.  However, students can register their interest in these degrees by sending an email to Nuala O’Donnell at nuala@uow.edu.au. Entry to the Bachelor of Arts (Dean’s Scholars) degree is based on interview and ATAR. Applications close on September 28th and interviews are held in late November/early December.  The Dean's Scholars’ program and the International Bachelor of Communication & Media Studies (Honours) are for high achieving students with an ATAR of 93 or above.  More information can be found in the course handbooks for Bachelor of Arts (Dean’s Scholar) and International Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies.

4 Steps to Early Entry

1. Submit your application on-line at www.uow.edu.au/future/earlyentry .
Applications open on 1st July and close on 18th September 2009.
2. Attend interview on September 29th or September 30th at the University of Wollongong (all applicants will be invited to an interview via the email address provided).
3. Receive a conditional or guaranteed offer from the Faculty in writing before you sit the HSC (when assessing your offer, the Faculty considers your results from years 10 – 12 including trial HSC results and success at interview).
4. If given a conditional offer you must meet the conditions of your offer when the HSC results are released (a conditional offer is normally a mark of 80 or above in two of your subjects as stipulated by the Faculty).

Disclaimer:
Please note that regardless of any Early Entry offer made, if your HSC results and ATAR are significantly different to the results provided as part of your Early Entry application, the University reserves the right to re-interview you. At this second interview, the Faculty will discuss with you your HSC results/ATAR and why they are significantly different to previous results achieved. Based on this, the Faculty may alter their offer in favour of an Alternative Entry Pathway designed to better prepare you for success in your chosen degree.All students who apply, will be invited (via the email address provided) to attend an interview on 29th or 30th September 2009.

Please note that successful applicants will still need to apply for University entry through the Universities Admission Centre (UAC).The relevant course needs to be the highest eligible preference on your UAC application in order to activate your Early Entry Offer.

If you do not receive an Early Entry offer you may still apply for a place in the Main Round UAC offers by applying in the usual way.
