| + 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. | |||||||
Assumed knowledge: Mathematics.
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: Bioscience, chemistry, communication, computing, engineering, mathematics, physics.
Career opportunities: Refer to 425000 and 429000.
Additional information: This diploma program provides a flexible pathway for those who have the potential to do engineering or science at UNSW but have a range of gaps in their assumed knowledge and thereby do not meet the standard entry requirements for B Engineering or B Science at UNSW.
Depending on their background students may also be eligible to complete selected electives from the B Engineering programs. Students who achieve a credit average in the DipSET will be permitted to transfer to B Engineering and B Science programs and will be eligible for advanced standing for courses successfully completed that form part of the Bachelor program. Those enrolling in the DipSET with the intention of seeking admission to a B Engineering program must undertake the Mathematics and Physics sequences.
Applicants will be considered for entry to the DipSET under the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS) for potential transfer to programs in the Faculty of Engineering or the Faculty of Science. Visit www.eng.unsw.edu.au/feas for details.
More detailed information on the structure of the Diploma is available at www.eng.unsw.edu.au/DipSET.
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.
