UWS - Mid-Year Entry

If you are studying at TAFE, a private or community college, or have completed a Certificate IV, you are well on the road to getting a degree at UWS.

At UWS we recognise TAFE or other higher education qualifications, as well as some relevant professional qualifications and work experience. These may count towards your degree and you could be eligible for guaranteed entry to a UWS degree. They may also effectively reduce the time required for you to complete your degree.

As you are no longer a Year 12 student, you are considered a non current school leaver when applying for university. Your application to study will be assessed on four criteria:

NSW HSC or equivalent
TAFE or Tertiary studies
Work Experience
Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT)

Each criteria will be given a rank out of 100, and the highest rank will be used for you to competitively gain entry to a course.

If you have more than five years work experience you may be eligible for Postgraduate Study (opens in a new window) at UWS.
