Introduction1 YEAR 10: THE YEAR OF DECISIONSThe Universities 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 Years 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 2012 (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 80–81 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.Entry to tertiary institutions in NSW and ACT iscompetitive and not all students who satisfy theminimum requirements 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 UAIIt is a myth that choosing certain HSC subjects willautomatically maximise your UAI. 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 UAI, see section 3 below.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 Year 12 Certificate courses (see below).Also ask advisers or teachers at your school or college.EnglishACTMajorNSWEnglish (Standard) orEnglish (Advanced)Major/Minor HSC English Extension 1Double Major HSC English Extension 2MathematicsACTNSWMathematical Methods MathematicsMajorSpecialist Mathematics HSC MathematicsMajor/Minor Extension 1Specialist Mathematics HSC MathematicsDouble Major Extension 2Information about the calculation of the ACT UniversitiesAdmission Index (UAI) is available from the ACT Board ofSenior Secondary Studies – call (02) 6205 7174.3 UNIVERSITIES ADMISSION INDEX (UAI)UAI coursesUAI courses are Board Developed courses for whichthere are formal examinations conducted by theBoard of Studies that yield a graded assessment.These are the only courses that can be includedin the UAI calculations.3.1 What is the UAI?The Universities Admission Index (UAI) is a numericalmeasure of a student's overall academic achievementin the HSC in relation to that of other students.This measure allows the comparison of students whohave completed different combinations of HSC courses.The UAI is calculated solely for use by institutions,either on its own or in conjunction with other selectioncriteria, to rank and select school leavers for admission.Other criteria such as a portfolio, interview, audition,questionnaire or test may also be taken into account inconjunction with the UAI for certain courses. See pages13–80 for further information on selection criteria.Students who indicate on their HSC entry forms thatthey wish to be notified of their UAI will receive a UAIAdvice Notice from UAC. UAIs are also made availableto institutions for selection purposes. The UAI isreported as a number between 0.00 and 100 withincrements of 0.05.Specifically, a UAI indicates the position of a studentrelative to their Year 10 cohort. That is, a UAI of 80.00indicates that students with that UAI have performedwell enough in the HSC to place them 20 per cent fromthe top of their Year 10 cohort, had all the Year 10students completed Year 12 and been eligible for a UAI.4Introduction
