| + Tuition fees are calculated on a student’s exact enrolment. UNSW students enrolled in most courses have some flexibility in the subjects they choose. At times these subjects will be from outside their own faculty. For example, a commerce student may choose elective subjects from a range of other faculties; a student in a combined law degree with engineering or science will choose subjects from science and engineering and subjects from law. These choices may result in a higher or lower total fee for the year. Fees are divided into eight bands which reflect the relative cost of providing each subject. In the box on the right are the approximate fees for students commencing their studies in 2010. | |||||||
C Mathematics Extension 1 and Physics.
Recommended studies: HSC Mathematics Extension 2 or Chemistry or Engineering Studies or Software Design and Development or Information Processes and Technology or Biology.

Additional selection criteria: Students who achieve an ATAR between 81.00 and 90.95 will be considered for admission under the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS)*, which will include the ATAR and a review of performance in relevant HSC (or equivalent) subjects.
Students who anticipate achieving an ATAR between 81.00 and 90.95 can maximise their opportunities for admission by submitting a FEAS application directly to the Faculty for an interview. Interviews will be held in early October 2009 at UNSW in Sydney. The application form can be accessed from 1 August 2009 at www.eng.unsw.edu.au/feas and should be submitted by 18 September 2009.
Major studies: Aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, industrial chemistry, manufacturing and management, mechanical, mechatronic, mining, naval architecture, petroleum, photonics, photovoltaics and solar energy, surveying and spatial information systems, telecommunications or renewable energy.
Industrial experience: At least 60 working days of approved industrial experience prior to enrolment in the final year of Engineering courses. Students in the Mining Engineering program are required to complete a minimum of 80 days of industrial experience.
Honours: Awarded on the basis of superior performance throughout the course.
Professional recognition: Students can apply for membership of the relevant professional engineering or science institutions within Australia and affiliated overseas bodies. International recognition offers graduates the opportunity to travel and work overseas.
Career opportunities: Examples include a diverse range of careers both in Australia and overseas based on the skills learnt in problem-solving, management, lateral thinking and communication.
Additional information: The flexible first year has core subjects in common with all Engineering programs, which enables you to learn the basics of the profession and gain a broad base in mathematics, sciences, engineering fundamentals, design and computing. You also have a wide choice of electives in engineering and science, which you can take to further particular interests or prepare yourself for a specialisation. Those enrolling in the flexible program need to transfer to a discipline at the end of the first year.
A large number of attractive scholarships are available for degree programs in the Faculty. For further information, contact the UNSW Scholarships Unit. The Faculty of Engineering encourages applications for all programs from women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
