Additional selection criteria

UAC table
Further information

Applicants for undergraduate courses are generally considered for admission on the basis of their performance in their academic qualifications.

However, some courses have other criteria by which applicants are also considered. These include performance in the Special Tertiary Admission Test (STAT), responses to a questionnaire, or performance in an audition or interview.

Please note that applicants for courses which have additional selection criteria must still meet the normal requirements for admission, in terms of possessing recognised academic qualifications with competitive results.

Below is a list of the courses offered through UAC which have additional selection criteria. Please consult the current version of the UAC Guide for the details of how to meet these criteria and what the relevant closing dates are.
