How to read the institutions’ entriesInstitutions describe their requirements in different ways because they have different policies. The followinginformation will help you to understand each institution’s entry. Check the Glossary on pages 81–82 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 10–12 for a list of HSC Board Developed Courses.In some subject areas, more than one course may meet therequirements. 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’. For example, where youread ‘any two units of English’, this means that any two unit Englishcourse is acceptable. Institutions that ask for ‘any two units of science’indicate what courses this includes at the beginning of their entry.Interpreting the SymbolsINSTITUTIONEnquiries+ Contact In Person: ContactInstitutionInstitutionPostal AddressStreet Address(Suburb State PostcodeSuburb State(0x) xxxx xxxx Fax: (0x) xxxx xxxxMAIN AREA OF STUDYP = PrerequisitesMajor StudiesSP = Subject Prerequisites(Areas of study are generally offered as Bachelor degrees A = Assumed Knowledgeunless Dip, AssocDip or AssocDeg is shown in brackets) R = Recommended StudiesN = NoneARTSAboriginal Studies N None for first-year unitsAboriginal Australian History, Anthropology,Biology, History, Politics, SociologyCOMMERCEMarketing and Hospitality Management P Questionnaire and interviewA MathematicsSCIENCEComputing and Information Systems A MathematicsElectronics SP* MathematicsR HSC Mathematics Extension 1 orHSC Mathematics Extension 2Assumed knowledge (A):Some institutions assume youhave a knowledge of specific HSCcourses or equivalent before youbegin the course.If you do not have the assumedlevel of knowledge but do have asuitable UAI, you may still beselected for the course but youmay find some difficulty copingwith your studies.Some institutions offer bridgingor introductory courses to helpyou achieve the required levelof assumed knowledge – contactthe relevant institution for details.Recommended studies (R): Theseare HSC or equivalent or othercourses that the institutionssuggest will assist you in yourchosen tertiary course.If you have not studied theseHSC courses, your chances ofselection are not affected.Course prerequisites (P):Some courses require you to haveachieved a specified standard in an HSCcourse or equivalent before you will beoffered a place in the course.If you do not have the required courseprerequisite/s, you cannot be selectedfor the institution’s course even thoughyou may have met the admissionrequirements.Not all institutions have courseprerequisites.

Table 1: HSC Board Developed Coursesto be examined in 20 11 ## correct at time of printingBelow is a list of the HSC Board Developed Courses being examined by the NSW Board of Studies in 2011.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 <strong>Universities</strong> Admission Index (UAI), an eligible UAI pattern of studymust 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 UAI courses – read section 3.4 on page 5n the UAI – 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 100 marks.TABLE 1Category A coursesNumber Course name Unit value Subject15000 Aboriginal Studies 2 Aboriginal Studies15010 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 Drama15100 Earth and Environmental Science 2 Earth and Environmental Science15110 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 Geography15210 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 History10Table 1: HSC Board Developed Courses
