One thing I’venoticed wherever I ride, in town or in the city, is thatpeople generally loathe our presence. For some reasonpeople consider us a blight on society, troublemakersand degenerates. I created this book to show peoplethat although we practise a sport on the street, we’renot street rats out to make trouble – we are just thesame as everyone else, having the same morals,lifestyles and ambitions as everyone else.ARTEXPRESSARTEXPRESS is an annual exhibition of outstandingworks selected from the NSW Higher School Certifi cateexamination in Visual Arts.

Introduction1 YEAR <strong>10</strong>: THE YEAR OF DECISIONSThe <strong>Universities</strong> Admissions Centre (NSW & ACT)Pty Ltd (UAC) has prepared this booklet on behalfof participating institutions to help you make decisionsabout which courses to take in <strong>Year</strong>s 11 and 12.If you plan to apply for tertiary study you should selectHSC courses that keep the doors open for entry toa range of tertiary courses.UAC’s participating institutions have listed the areas ofstudy that they plan to offer in 2013 (as far as is knownat the time this booklet went to print). Where applicable,the participating institutions have shown details of:n course and subject prerequisitesn assumed knowledge andn recommended studies.Refer to the Glossary on pages 84–85 for definitionsof the above terms.For more information:n see your careers advisern contact the institutions – see ‘Participatinginstitutions’, starting on page 13, for telephonenumbers and addressesn read the UAC Guide. Reference copies are availablefrom your careers adviser and/or in your school library.<strong>Entry</strong> to tertiary institutions in NSW and ACT iscompetitive and not all students who satisfy theminimum <strong>requirements</strong> for entry to a particularinstitution are offered a place in the program of theirchoice. This booklet is intended, however, to makeit easier for you to choose which courses to take.Participating institutions are aware that not every schooloffers the full range of HSC courses. If your school doesnot offer a course recommended as preparation for tertiarystudy, or if you can’t study the recommended course,ask the institution of your choice what supplementarystudies you may need to undertake.Subject selection and the ATARIt is a myth that choosing certain HSC subjects willautomatically maximise your ATAR. The best way tochoose your subjects is to consider:n what you are good atn what you like doingn what will best prepare you for what you areplanning to do after the HSC andn what gives you some flexibility if you changeyour mind.For more information on the ATAR, see section 3.2 ACT SYSTEMIf you are a college or school student in the ACT andyou are thinking about studying at a participatinginstitution, check equivalence between the NSW HSCand ACT <strong>Year</strong> 12 Certificate courses on this page.

TheATAR is calculated solely for use by institutions, eitheron its own or in conjunction with other selection criteria,to rank and select school leavers for admission totertiary courses.Other criteria such as a portfolio, interview, audition,questionnaire or test may also be taken into account inconjunction with the ATAR for certain courses. See pages13–83 for further information on selection criteria.The ATAR is a number (not a mark) that indicates astudent’s position in relation to their <strong>Year</strong> 7 cohort,including students who did not complete <strong>Year</strong> 12.An ATAR of 80.00, for example, indicates that studentswith that ATAR have performed in the HSC better than80 per cent of their <strong>Year</strong> 7 cohort, had all these <strong>Year</strong> 7students completed <strong>Year</strong> 12 and been eligible for anATAR. The ATAR is reported as a number between0.00 and 99.95 with increments of 0.05.Calculation of the ATAR is the responsibility of theTechnical Committee on Scaling on behalf of the NSWVice-Chancellors’ Committee. Students who indicate ontheir HSC entry forms that they wish to be notified oftheir ATAR will receive an ATAR Advice Notice fromUAC. ATARs are also made available to institutions forselection purposes.4Introduction


3.2 The ATAR NoticeWhile ATARs are calculated for all ATAR-eligiblestudents, only students who indicate on their HSC entryforms that they wish to be notified of their ATAR receivean ATAR Advice Notice from UAC. These students willreceive their written Advice Notices at the same time asthey receive their HSC results from the Board of Studies.The ATAR Advice Notice includes:n a student’s ATARn a list of the ATAR courses which the student studiedand the categorisation of each course andn the number of units of each ATAR course thatcontributed to the calculation of the ATAR.There are two cases where an ATAR will not be shown onthe ATAR Advice Notice. The first is when a student receivesan ATAR between 0.00 and 30.00, in which case the ATARwill be indicated as "30 or less". The second is when thestudent has not met the <strong>requirements</strong> for an ATAR, in whichcase the statement "Not Eligible" will appear.3.3 Who is eligible for an ATAR?Categorisation of ATAR coursesThere are many HSC courses but not all will contributeto an ATAR. Courses that do contribute to the ATAR areBoard Developed courses for which there are formalexaminations that yield graded assessments. These aretermed ATAR courses.ATAR courses are classified as either Category A orCategory B courses. The criteria for Category A coursesare academic rigour, depth of knowledge, the degree towhich the course contributes to assumed knowledge fortertiary studies, and the coherence with other coursesincluded in the ATAR calculations. Category B coursesare those whose level of cognitive and performancedemands are not regarded as satisfactory in themselves,though their contribution to a selection index is regardedas adequate if the other courses included in theaggregate are more academically demanding.Courses to be examined in 2013 and their categoriesare listed in Table 1 on pages <strong>10</strong>–12. At present thereare few Category B courses.Eligibility for an ATARTo be eligible for an ATAR a student must satisfactorilycomplete at least <strong>10</strong> units of ATAR courses. These ATARcourses must include at least:n eight units from Category A courses andn two units of English andn three Board Developed courses of two unitsor greater andn four subjects.See Table 1 on page <strong>10</strong> for the definition of ‘course’and ‘subject’.You must check your program of study carefully to makesure that you will be eligible for an ATAR.Satisfactorily completed coursesA student will be considered to have satisfactorilycompleted a course if, in the principal’s view, there issufficient evidence that the student has:1 followed the course developed or endorsed by theBoard of Studies, and2 applied themselves with diligence and sustainedeffort to the set tasks and experiences provided inthe course by the school, and3 achieved some or all of the course outcomes, and4 completed at least 50 per cent of the HSC assessmenttasks mandated by their school in that course.Failure to satisfactorily complete a course will result inthat course not contributing to the eligibility <strong>requirements</strong>.If the course is a 2-unit course for which there is anassociated extension course, failure to satisfactorilycomplete the 2-unit course will result in neither the 2-unitnor the extension course contributing towards their ATAR.3.4 Calculation of the ATARThe ATAR is a rank based on an aggregate of scaledmarks in <strong>10</strong> units of ATAR courses. A student’saggregate is based on their:n best two units of English andn best eight units from their remaining units, which caninclude up to two units of Category B courses.Although eligibility for an ATAR requires completion of atleast four subjects, the aggregate may be based on lessthan four subjects, for example English Advanced, EnglishExtension 1 and Extension 2, Mathematics Extension 1and Extension 2, and one other 2-unit course.Marks to be included in the ATAR calculations can beaccumulated over a five-year period but if a course isrepeated, only the last satisfactory attempt is used inthe calculation of the ATAR.Scaled marks are calculated the year the courses arecompleted.Bonus points and cut-offsThe cut-off for a course indicates the minimum rankrequired for selection into the course for most <strong>Year</strong> 12applicants. Some applicants may receive an offer eventhough they have an ATAR below the published cut-off.Often this is because those applicants have beenawarded bonus points by a particular institution. Bonuspoints are allocated for things like strong performancein HSC subjects, living or attending school in a certainarea, and applying for consideration throughEducational Access Schemes. Bonus points are notadded to your ATAR. Bonus points don’t change yourATAR; bonus points change your selection rank for aparticular preference. For most <strong>Year</strong> 12 applicants,their selection rank is their ATAR. But if you have beenawarded bonus points for a particular preference, yourselection rank = your ATAR + bonus points. Therefore,the cut-off includes bonus points where applicable.3.5 How is the ATAR determined?The ATAR is determined by:n scaling the raw HSC marks (which are the average ofthe raw HSC examination marks and the moderatedschool assessments) provided by the Board of Studiesn calculating an aggregate of scaled marks for eachATAR-eligible studentn ranking ATAR-eligible students based on thisaggregate of scaled marksn determining rankings based on what the rankingswould have been if all students in the <strong>Year</strong> 7 cohorthad completed <strong>Year</strong> 12 and been eligible for an ATAR.This ranking is expressed as a percentile truncatedto the nearest 0.05. This is the ATAR.Introduction5


Note that rankings depend solely on performancein the HSC, not on performance in <strong>Year</strong> 7.More detailed information on the scaling processis available from UAC (see 3.7 below).3.6 Limited ATARUnder certain circumstances you may be eligible fora Limited ATAR.EligibilityTo be eligible for a Limited ATAR based on your 2013HSC studies, you must meet both of the followingconditions:n be at least 20 years of age on 1 March 2013 andn be taking between five and nine units of ATARcourses in 2013 that include at least one unit ofEnglish.You cannot accumulate a Limited ATAR.Calculation of a Limited ATARThe Limited ATAR is calculated using scaled marks fromATAR courses comprising:n at least one unit of English, andn the best four other units of Category A courses.If you are eligible for a Limited ATAR, you will be sent aseparate Limited ATAR Advice by UAC at the same timeas the HSC results and ATAR Advice are posted.Some institutions use the Limited ATAR in conjunctionwith other criteria for selection purposes.3.7 Further information<strong>Universities</strong> Admissions Centre (NSW & ACT)website: www.uac.edu.aupublications:n UAC Guide – published in July/August each yearand provided through schools at no charge tocurrent NSW HSC and ACT <strong>Year</strong> 12 students; alsoavailable to purchase from newsagents and UAC.n Report on the Scaling of the NSW Higher SchoolCertificate – published in April/May each year andreference copies provided to schools at no charge;also available to purchase from UAC.n The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank in NewSouth Wales - A Technical Report– published in 2009 when the ATAR was firstintroduced; available to purchase from UAC.n All about your ATAR – published in December eachyear and posted at no charge to current NSW HSC<strong>Year</strong> 12 students.Publications are available by visiting UAC's office,calling UAC on (02) 9752 0200, or using the order formon UAC’s website at www.uac.edu.au.

A subject is the general name given to an areaof study. A course is a branch of study within a subject.A subject may have several courses. For example,English (Standard), English (Advanced), HSC EnglishExtension 1 and HSC English Extension 2 are allincluded under the subject English. HSC subjects andHSC courses are listed in Table 1 on pages <strong>10</strong>–12.The following is a general guide to the HSC subjectsand courses accepted by institutions in NSW and theACT for entrance purposes. Always check with therelevant institution to confirm the information.Note: Courses studied under the HSC-<strong>University</strong>Pathways program do not contribute to the ATAR.Category A coursesEnglishTwo units of English must be included in the calculation ofyour ATAR. In addition, some institutions require Englishas a subject prerequisite or course prerequisite. Checkeach institution entry for details. If you are consideringstudying English at tertiary level, English (Advanced) orHSC English Extension 1 is usually recommended.Students who complete the Stage 6 Content Endorsedcourse English Studies are not eligible for an ATAR.Biology/Chemistry/Earth and EnvironmentalScience/Physics/Senior ScienceIf you wish to study science or a course based onscience at tertiary level – for example, agriculture, allbranches of engineering and applied sciences, naturalresources, computing, medical or paramedical sciences,forestry or rural science – you are advised to study asmuch science and mathematics as you can at schoolby taking as many courses as you are able to handleeffectively within the HSC rules.MathematicsA knowledge of mathematics is desirable for varioustertiary courses. It is also recommended, along withphysics, for all degree courses requiring a study of physics.Ideally you should select either HSC MathematicsExtension 1 or HSC Mathematics Extension 2 if you wish tocontinue studying mathematics, mathematical statistics,actuarial studies or computer science beyond first year.These courses are the best preparation for the study of allbranches of engineering and physics beyond first year.Mathematics (not General Mathematics) is recommendedby most institutions as the minimum requirement forfurther study in a variety of subjects, includingarchitecture, agricultural economics, biological sciences,business, chemistry, commerce, economics, geology,psychology, social sciences, statistics, and urban andregional planning.Languages other than EnglishMost institutions offer courses in languages for firstyear students who have no previous knowledge of theparticular language.If you are considering further study in a language, however,you will find that including the language in your HSCprogram is to your advantage. For some institutions this isessential if you intend to proceed to fourth year honours inthat language.6 Introduction


Also ask the relevant institution whether specific<strong>requirements</strong> have been set for the study of a language.Beginners courses are accepted by all institutions forentrance purposes but are not recommended aspreparation for study in that subject.Ancient History/Economics/Geography/Modern HistoryAny of these HSC courses may be included in your HSCprogram to satisfy tertiary entrance <strong>requirements</strong>. Attertiary level, however, they are taught on the assumptionthat students have not studied them previously.MusicMusic can be included in your HSC program by studyingMusic 1, Music 2 or HSC Music Extension. If you areconsidering further study in music, find out the minimumentry standard required. Some courses require an audition.Visual ArtsThe study of Visual Arts is acceptable for entrancepurposes. If you are considering further study in visual arts,however, find out the minimum entry standard required.Most courses require presentation of a portfolio of work.Agriculture/Engineering StudiesThese HSC courses are accepted by institutions forentrance purposes. Agriculture is a useful preparationif you intend to study agricultural science, agriculturaleconomics or rural science, while Engineering Studiesis a useful preparation for the study of engineering.The best preparation includes Chemistry, Physics andMathematics if you wish to study agricultural science orrural science; or Chemistry, Physics and HSCMathematics Extension 1 if you wish to study anyof the branches of engineering.Aboriginal Studies/Business Studies/Dance/Design and Technology/Drama/FoodTechnology/Industrial Techology/InformationProcesses and Technology/LegalStudies/Community and FamilyStudies/Personal Development, Health andPhysical Education/Society andCulture/Software Design and Development/Studies of Religion/Textiles and DesignThese HSC courses are accepted by all institutionsfor entrance purposes.Category B coursesOnly the best two units from your Category B courses areavailable for inclusion in the calculation of your ATAR.Category B courses are listed in Table 1 on page 12.5 AREAS OF TERTIARY STUDYThis is a general guide to the broad areas of studyoffered by institutions. Always check with the relevantinstitution to confirm the information. For a generalguide to which institutions offer which areas of study,refer to the Areas of study index on pages 86–87.Architecture/Building/Design and PlanningStudents intending to undertake courses in these areasare advised to study two or more units of mathematics (notGeneral Mathematics). A general background in science,particularly Physics, may be helpful but is not essential.Visual Arts or Industrial Technology may also be useful.Arts/HumanitiesDegree programs in arts and liberal studies do notusually require a particular program of study atsecondary school. The study of English is required bysome institutions and recommended for all studentsin this field – check the institution entries for details.If you wish to study a language other than English as yourmajor subject, however, you are advised to include thelanguage of your choice in your HSC program, althoughin many cases you will be able to take introductorylanguage courses that do not require prior study.Business/Commerce/Economics/Marketing/ManagementCourses in accounting, banking, econometrics, economics,finance, management and marketing may require at leasttwo units of mathematics (not General Mathematics) aseither a prerequisite or assumed knowledge.HSC Economics or Business Studies are considereda useful, but not essential, preparation for coursesin these areas.Students wishing to undertake actuarial studies at tertiarylevel generally require HSC Mathematics Extension 1or HSC Mathematics Extension 2 as a prerequisite.Communications/Media StudiesMost of these courses do not require a particularcourse of study at secondary school.Some institutions recommend the study of Englishin preparation for communication and media courses –check the institution entries for details. In additionto the ATAR, some institutions may require you tocomplete a questionnaire and/or attend an interview.Creative and Performing ArtsStudents intending to undertake studies in the creativeand performing arts areas are advised to gainexperience outside the school environment. <strong>Entry</strong> tomost of these courses requires an audition, interview orportfolio (or combination of these) as well as a suitableATAR. The study of Visual Arts, Dance, Drama, Music 1,Music 2 or HSC Music Extension may be helpful forcourses in creative and performing arts areas. Someinstitutions will base selection to a creative arts courseon the marks obtained in the HSC. Special admissionprocedures may be available if you are unable toinclude suitable subjects in your HSC program.Earth and Environmental SciencesMost earth and environmental science courses do notrequire a particular program of study. Most institutions,however, recommend a background in science subjectssuch as Chemistry, Mathematics (not GeneralMathematics), and Physics or Biology.Students who complete the Stage 6 Content Endorsedcourse English Studies are not eligible for an ATAR.Education/TeachingIn some institutions, courses in education may be takenin an arts, science or other program. Some institutionsalso offer separate teacher education programs in earlychildhood, primary and secondary education. See boxon the following page for <strong>requirements</strong> to be employedas a primary or secondary teacher. Students who wishto qualify as a secondary teacher must also fulfil theentry <strong>requirements</strong> for study in their proposed area ofteaching specialisation.Introduction7


For intending early childhood teachers, some institutionsassume or require satisfactory levels of mathematicsand/or English.HSC English and Mathematics<strong>requirements</strong> for teaching degrees*new <strong>requirements</strong> as advised by the NSW Institute ofTeachers – effective 1 January 20<strong>10</strong>Primary teachingFor admission to an undergraduate primary teachereducation program you should have achieved aHigher School Certificate minimum Band 4 in EnglishAdvanced, Standard English or English as a SecondLanguage; as well as Band 4 in General Mathematics,or completion of Mathematics or ExtensionMathematics.Where you do not meet these entry <strong>requirements</strong>,a tertiary institution may offer concurrent study orappropriate bridging units and/or require satisfactoryperformance in approved tests in literacy andnumeracy before graduation. For further detailscontact the course co-ordinator/s at the institutions.Secondary teachingFor admission to an undergraduate secondaryteacher education program you should have achieveda Higher School Certificate minimum Band 4 inEnglish Advanced, Standard English or English as aSecond Language.Where you do not meet these entry <strong>requirements</strong>,a tertiary institution may offer concurrent study orappropriate bridging units and/or require satisfactoryperformance in an approved test in literacy beforegraduation. For further details contact the courseco-ordinator/s at the institutions.EngineeringMost institutions recommend at least HSC MathematicsExtension 1 for the study of all branches of engineering.Physics and Chemistry are also recommended.Engineering Studies is considered a useful, but notessential, preparation for engineering.Health Sciences (includes studies notlisted under Medical Sciences)If you intend to study health sciences you are generallyadvised to include in your HSC study program at least twounits of mathematics (not General Mathematics) and twounits of science – preferably Chemistry, or, for medicalimaging and medical radiation technology, Physics.Human Movement/Sport Sciences/Physical EducationMost courses in the areas of human movement, sportsciences and physical education do not require aparticular program of study at secondary school. Abackground in science subjects (Physics, Chemistry andBiology) and mathematics (not General Mathematics)is recommended by some institutions. PersonalDevelopment, Health and Physical Education is alsoconsidered useful.Some institutions require you to provide additionalinformation relating to your sporting achievements.Information TechnologyStudies in information technology usually require eitherMathematics or HSC Mathematics Extension 1 (notGeneral Mathematics) as a prerequisite or assumedknowledge. Computer science is generally taught onthe assumption that students have studied HSCMathematics Extension 1.LawGenerally, legal courses do not specify prerequisites orlevels of assumed knowledge. If you are contemplatinga law program combined with arts, business, commerce,economics, engineering, science, social sciences orsocial welfare, check that the subjects you choosecomply with the <strong>requirements</strong> for those courses.Medical Sciences (including medicine,optometry, pharmacy and veterinary science)Students intending to take up studies in these areasare advised to include at least two units of mathematics(not General Mathematics), Chemistry and eitherPhysics or Biology in their HSC program.Some institutions prefer the combination of Chemistryand Physics while others may have no preferenceprovided Mathematics and Chemistry are included.NursingStudents intending to undertake nursing studies aregenerally advised to include at least two units of studiesin science, preferably Chemistry and/or Biology and/orPhysics. Most institutions also recommend at least twounits of mathematics.Science/Applied Science/TechnologyMost courses in applied science are three-year or fouryearprofessional courses which involve the study ofmathematics, chemistry, physics and either biology orgeology in first year. HSC Mathematics Extension 1 isassumed knowledge for courses in technologies suchas textiles and metallurgy. Mathematics is acceptablein areas such as food technology, and agricultural andrural sciences.Most science courses require students to have studiedas much science and mathematics (not GeneralMathematics) as they can effectively handle. If possible,include both Chemistry and Physics in your HSC program.Social SciencesSocial sciences may include the study of economics,education, geography, law, psychology and sociology.Mathematics (not General Mathematics) may berequired for some subjects.Social Work/Welfare WorkMost courses in social work and welfare work do notrequire a particular program of study at secondaryschool although a minimum score in English may berequired by some institutions. If psychology is includedas part of the course, then Mathematics (not GeneralMathematics) is strongly recommended.Tourism/Hospitality ManagementMost courses in tourism and hospitality managementdo not require a particular program of study atsecondary school although economics may be useful.Some courses also require a minimum level of Englishand mathematics. Some institutions require workexperience in customer services as a prerequisite.8 Introduction


How to read the institutions’ entriesInstitutions describe their <strong>requirements</strong> in different ways because they have different policies. The followinginformation will help you to understand each institution’s entry. Check the Glossary on pages 84–85 for furtherclarification of the terms.Courses listed by institutions: If an institution requires you to havestudied a specific course in your HSC, the proper name of thecourse is stated – for example, HSC Mathematics Extension 1. SeeTable 1 on pages <strong>10</strong>–12 for a list of HSC Board Developed Courses.In some subject areas, more than one course may meet the<strong>requirements</strong>. When this occurs, institutions have not listed all ofthe courses they accept. You can assume that as well as the coursethey have included, institutions also accept courses in the samesubject area that challenge higher order thinking and extensioncourses that enable students to undertake more in-depth studyin areas of special interest. For example, if institutions acceptMathematics they also accept HSC Mathematics Extension 1or HSC Mathematics Extension 2, but not General Mathematics.If the institution does not require that you have studied a specific levelin your HSC, it is stated as ‘any two units of’.

Table 1: HSC Board Developed Coursesto be examined in 2013 ## correct at time of printingBelow is a list of the HSC Board Developed Courses being examined by the NSW Board of Studies in 2013.The courses appear in alphabetical order by subject area. Languages other than English are listed separately.The courses are classified by the institutions participating in UAC as either Category A courses or Category Bcourses. For the purpose of calculating the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), an eligible ATAR pattern ofstudy must include at least eight units of Category A courses and no more than two units of Category B courses.For more information about:n categorisation of ATAR courses – read section 3.3 on page 5n the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank – read section 3 on pages 4–6Definitions:nnnnsubject – is the general name given to an area of studycourse – is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have several different courses. For example,within the subject English, courses include English (Standard), English (Advanced), HSC English Extension 1,HSC English Extension 2, and English as a Second LanguageHSC Extension courses – enable students to undertake more in-depth study in areas of special interest.Students build on the content of the 2-unit course and carry an additional value of 1 unitunit value – all courses have a unit value and each unit involves class time of approximately two hours per week(60 hours per year). In the HSC, each unit has a value of 50 marks, so a 2-unit course has a value of <strong>10</strong>0 marks.CATEGORY A COURSESNumber Course name Unit value Subject15000 Aboriginal Studies 2 Aboriginal Studies150<strong>10</strong> Agriculture 2 Agriculture15020 Ancient History 2 Ancient History15280 HSC History Extension 1 1 Ancient History15030 Biology 2 Biology15040 Business Studies 2 Business Studies15050 Chemistry 2 Chemistry15060 Community and Family Studies 2 Community and Family Studies15070 Dance 2 Dance15080 Design and Technology 2 Design and Technology15090 Drama 2 Drama15<strong>10</strong>0 Earth and Environmental Science 2 Earth and Environmental Science151<strong>10</strong> Economics 2 Economics15120 Engineering Studies 2 Engineering Studies15150 English as a Second Language 2 English15130 English (Standard) 2 English15140 English (Advanced) 2 English15160 HSC English Extension 1 1 English15170 HSC English Extension 2 1 English15180 Food Technology 2 Food Technology15190 Geography 2 Geography15200 Industrial Technology 2 Industrial Technology152<strong>10</strong> Information Processes and Technology 2 Information Processes and Technology15220 Legal Studies 2 Legal Studies15230 General Mathematics 2 Mathematics15240 Mathematics 2 Mathematics15250 HSC Mathematics Extension 1 * 1/2 Mathematics15260 HSC Mathematics Extension 2 2 Mathematics15270 Modern History 2 Modern History15280 HSC History Extension 1 1 Modern History15290 Music 1 2 2 Music15300 Music 2 2 2 Music153<strong>10</strong> HSC Music Extension 2 1 Music15320 Personal Development, Health and 2 Personal Development, Health andPhysical EducationPhysical Education<strong>10</strong>Table 1: HSC Board Developed Courses

For example, within thesubject of English the courses include English (Standard),English (Advanced), HSC English Extension 1 and so on.Major studiesAreas of in-depth study or specialisation within acourse, consisting of a sequence of subjects/units ina single discipline generally studied throughout thecourse. Major studies comprise more subjects/unitsthan minor studies. In some courses it is possible tohave more than one major study.Some institutions may refer to major studies as majorsor specialisations.84 Glossary


PrerequisitesAn essential prescribed level of achievement whichmust be reached in a specified course/s at the NSWHSC (or equivalent) before an applicant is considered.There are two types of prerequisites: courseprerequisites and subject prerequisites. These areexplained below and in the front of this booklet.An institution may specify both types of prerequisites;only one type of prerequisite; or may not specifyprerequisites at all. If prerequisites are not required byan institution generally a level of Assumed Knowledgeis specified (see above).Course prerequisites (shown as P)Some courses require that you have achieveda prescribed standard in a specified NSW HSC(or equivalent) course/s before an offer of a placewill be made.If you do not have the required course prerequisite(s)you cannot be selected for the institution’s course eventhough you may have met the admission <strong>requirements</strong>.Course prerequisites may also relate to other<strong>requirements</strong> such as an interview, portfolio orquestionnaire.Subject prerequisites (shown as SP)Some particular subjects within a tertiary courserequire that you have achieved a prescribedstandard in a specified NSW HSC (or equivalent)course/s before you are allowed to enrol in thoseparticular subjects.If you do not have the required subjectprerequisite/s, but have met the admission<strong>requirements</strong>, you may still be selected for thecourse, but may be unable to take the particularsubject within the course.Some institutions offer bridging or introductory coursesto help you achieve the required standard.However if you include one or more of these bridgingcourses in your program, it could prevent you fromcompleting your tertiary course in the minimum time.Subject prerequisites may also relate to other<strong>requirements</strong> such as an interview, portfolio orquestionnaire.Recommended studies (shown as R)These are NSW HSC or equivalent or other courses thatthe institutions suggest will assist you in your chosentertiary course.If you have not studied these courses your chances ofselection are not affected.Undergraduate courseAs used in this booklet, an undergraduate coursemeans one leading to a first qualification, namely anassociate diploma, or a diploma, or a first degree ofbachelor.<strong>University</strong>A tertiary institution offering undergraduate andpostgraduate degrees and diplomas.<strong>Universities</strong> Admissions Centre (UAC)The <strong>Universities</strong> Admissions Centre (NSW & ACT) Pty Ltd(UAC) is the central office that receives and processesapplications for admission to most undergraduatecourses at participating tertiary institutions.
