Year 10: a year of decisions This booklet is for Year 10 students choosing their subjects for years 11 and 12. Its aim is to help you think about the next two years and beyond and provide information so that you can make the best decisions for successful senior school and tertiary study.

In Year 10 you need to choose the subjects that you would like to study for the next two years. Although there are many pathways to tertiary study, choosing the right courses at school can make it easier to enter and succeed at tertiary study. In this booklet, have listed the areas of study that they plan to offer for 2016 admissions at the time this booklet went to print. They have also set out course entry requirements and, where applicable, details of: course prerequisites subject prerequisites assumed knowledge recommended studies. New South Wales institutions have few course prerequisites and offer bridging courses where required subject prerequisites or standards are not met. However, having to complete a bridging course may add to your study load when you enter tertiary study. You should also consider the importance of assumed knowledge and recommended studies for tertiary courses when choosing subjects to study in years 11 and 12. This booklet also provides information about HSC courses, how the ATAR is calculated and used for tertiary entry, and how bonus points work. The booklet will take you through the steps involved in deciding which subjects to choose. In Step 1 you need to consider what you are interested in and good at. In Step 2 you can explore all your study options and find out which institutions offer the various areas of study. In Step 3 you need to decide, based on what HSC subjects and courses are available and what the requirements are for entry into each area of study at UAC s participating institutions. To view a PowerPoint presentation on how to use this booklet, visit www.uac.edu.au/schoolink/ year-10.shtml about UAC The Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) is the central office that processes applications for undergraduate and postgraduate courses at participating institutions, mainly in NSW and the ACT. In 2012, there were more than 1,600 undergraduate courses offered through UAC by 24 participating institutions. UAC also: calculates the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) and notifies NSW HSC students of their ATAR administers tertiary admissions tests such as the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT) processes applications for Educational Access Schemes (EAS) processes applications for some Equity Scholarships (ES).

about the HSC, the ATAR and applying to uni Understanding more about the HSC, the ATAR and applying to Uni will help you make the best decisions about your subjects, so here s what it s all about.

the NSW HSC Studying for the NSW HSC begins in Year 11 with preliminary courses and ends with the HSC exam at the end of Year 12. Your Year 12 assessment mark and your exam mark will contribute equally to your HSC mark. To be eligible for the HSC you need to meet the following requirements: complete at least 12 units of preliminary courses in Year 11 complete at least 10 units of courses in Year 12 complete an English course, which is compulsory. Most courses are two units and to qualify for an HSC at least six units must be in courses examined by the Board of Studies. Remember that being eligible for an HSC doesn t necessarily mean you will be eligible for an ATAR - check below for ATAR eligiblity requirements. Courses ATAR courses There are many HSC courses but remember that not all will contribute to an ATAR. ATAR courses are developed by the Board of Studies NSW which conducts formal examinations that yield graded assessments. These Board Developed courses are the only courses that can be included in ATAR calculations. HSC Board Developed courses that will be examined in 2015 and their categories are listed in the table on pages 23 24. Board Developed courses are classified as either Category A or Category B courses. Category A courses have the academic rigour and depth of knowledge to provide background for tertiary studies. For more information about Category A courses, see page 21. Category B courses on their own don t provide an adequate background for tertiary studies, but can contribute to the ATAR if the other courses included in the ATAR are the more academically demanding Category A courses. For this reason, only two units of category B courses can be included in the ATAR calculation. For more information about Category B courses, see page 22. Other courses There are other courses you can study as part of the HSC. Vocational courses, which are more hands-on courses, are industry based and usually include work skills and experience through work placements. These courses may be delivered at your school, at another school or at TAFE. ATAR courses are Board Developed courses. These are the only courses that can be included in the ATAR calculations. TAFE-delivered HSC VET (TVET) courses, also known as Industry Framework courses, are developed or endorsed by the Board of Studies NSW and include Category B courses. Remember that Board endorsed courses will count towards your HSC, but most do not contribute to your ATAR. Content-endorsed courses can also be studied as part of the HSC, but do not contribute to the ATAR. Distance education If you live in an area that is isolated, have special circumstances that prevent you from attending school on a regular basis or meet other criteria, you can study through distance education. There are more than 60 HSC courses and are aware that not every school offers all courses. If your school does not offer a course recommended as preparation for tertiary study, or if you can t study the recommended course, ask the institution what supplementary studies you may need to undertake. the ATAR The ATAR is the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank. It is a rank used by universities and other institutions to choose students for tertiary study. It is a measure of a student s overall academic achievement. Entry to tertiary study is competitive so the ATAR allows the comparison of students who have completed different combinations of HSC courses. The ATAR is calculated solely for use by institutions, either on its own or with other selection criteria, to rank and select school leavers for admission to tertiary courses. The ATAR is a number between 0 and 99.95 with increments of 0.05 that indicates your position relative to all the other students in your state who started Year 7 with you. An ATAR of 70.00 means you are ranked above 70 per cent of this group in other words you re in the top 30 per cent. An ATAR of 87.50 means you are ranked above 87.5 per cent of this group in the top 12.5 per cent. The ATAR is provided to NSW HSC students by UAC. Those students who indicate on their HSC entry forms that they wish to be notified of their ATAR receive an ATAR Advice Notice in the mail. To be eligible for an ATAR, NSW students must satisfactorily complete at least 10 units of ATAR courses. These ATAR courses must include: eight units of Category A courses two units of English, which is compulsory three Board Developed courses of two units or greater four subjects. Remember that when you choose your program of study for the HSC, you must make sure you will be eligible for an ATAR. Satisfactorily completed courses A student will be considered to have satisfactorily completed a course if, in the principal s view, there is sufficient evidence that the student has: 1. followed the course developed or endorsed by the Board of Studies, and 2. applied themselves with diligence and sustained effort to the set tasks and experiences provided in the course by the school, and 3. achieved some or all of the course outcomes, and 4. completed at least 50 per cent of the HSC assessment tasks mandated by their school in that course. Failure to satisfactorily complete a course will result in that course not contributing to the eligibility requirements. If the course is a 2-unit course for which there is an associated extension course, failure to satisfactorily complete the 2-unit course will result in neither the 2-unit nor the extension course contributing towards their ATAR. The ATAR is a rank, not a mark. About the HSC, the ATAR and applying to uni 5

How the ATAR is calculated The ATAR is based on an aggregate of scaled marks in 10 units of ATAR courses comprising: the best two units of English the best eight of the remaining units, which can include up to two units of Category B courses. For more information about the ATAR, visit www.uac.edu.au/ undergraduate/atar/ To download UAC publications about the ATAR, visit www.uac.edu/publications Limited ATAR Depending on their age and program of study, some HSC students may be eligible for a Limited ATAR. For more information check the UAC Guide. the International Baccalaureate The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma and Bilingual Diploma are recognised as an equivalent to an Australian Year 12 for admission to tertiary institutions in Australia. IB students apply for uni through UAC in the same way as Year 12 students. However, IB students don t receive an ATAR but a UAC rank based on their total score. A national conversion table showing the conversion of the IB aggregate score to the UAC rank is at www.uac.edu.au/ undergraduate/faq/ib.shtml. This page also has a table that compares IB results with NSW HSC results. You may need to know how your IB subjects compare to NSW HSC subjects to check that you meet any course prerequisites, recommended studies and assumed knowledge, and also if you ll be eligible for bonus points for specific courses. To check how IB subjects compare to NSW HSC subjects, see the table at www.uac.edu.au/ undergraduate/faq/ib.shtml The ATAR in the ACT The ATAR calculated in the ACT is directly comparable to the ATAR calculated in NSW and other states. The ACT operates a system of school-based curriculum and assessment through the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS). Each college determines the courses (and units) that they offer to students. There are no compulsory courses or units. Assessment is continuous school-based assessment and courses are taught and assessed unit by unit. There are no examinations set by a central authority for any subject. If you re an ACT Year 12 student and want to apply for tertiary study, you must sit the ACT Scaling Test (AST). The AST is used by the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies (BSSS) to calculate your ATAR. The ATAR calculation is based on your best three scaled course scores from major courses plus 0.6 of the next best scaled course score. The scaled course scores are then added to form an aggregate score. Students are then ranked based on their aggregate score, which is converted to an ATAR. As your ATAR is calculated from your performance in the AST if you drop a course it may not affect your ATAR directly. However, you need to take into account prerequisites for tertiary courses, outlined in this booklet. If you are a college or school student in the ACT and you are thinking about studying at a UAC participating institution, you may need to check how your ACT Year 12 Certificate courses compare to NSW HSC subjects. Comparisons for English and are below but for a complete listing, visit www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/admission/ interstate.shtml The ATAR is about position. This is why your rank in your subject is as important as your marks.

ATAR myths There is no magic formula to getting a good ATAR. Just about any combination of courses can lead to a good ATAR; it all depends on how well you ve done in all your courses in comparison to other students. Scaling of HSC results is carried out afresh each year, so the scaled means are different every year. It is a myth that choosing certain courses will automatically increase your ATAR. You shouldn t choose courses based on what you believe are the likely effects of scaling and your ATAR. Your subject choices should be based on your interests, demonstrated abilities and your future career plans. Studying subjects that you are not good at or happy with may mean you won t do your best or achieve good marks. The only way to maximise your ATAR is to: study hard do your best have a good study and social life balance. As long as you have chosen the subjects you are good at and do well in, you will have the best chance of maximising your ATAR. 6 About the HSC, the ATAR and applying to uni

applying to uni Every year more than 45,000 Year 12 students apply through UAC for admission to courses offered by UAC s participating institutions. For the majority of courses there are more applicants than places, so applicants are ranked for selection. The first step in the selection process is to check whether applicants have satisfied prerequisites for the courses for which they have applied. For example, an advanced computing degree might specify as a course prerequisite. If you haven t studied, you haven t met this prerequisite and you won t be considered for the course, regardless of your ATAR. The second step is to rank all applicants who satisfy the prerequisites for that course. For most courses, applicants who are current Year 12 school leavers are ranked using their ATAR. However, if you re eligible for any bonus points (see below) or apply for educational access schemes (see page 8), your selection rank may be higher than your ATAR for certain institutions or courses. You can find more details about additional selection criteria and the selection process in the UAC Guide or online at www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/ admission/selection.shtml Requirements In addition to the ATAR, many institutions have admission requirements. These are: Prerequisites Course prerequisites Subject prerequisites knowledge studies. Some tertiary courses also have additional selection criteria. Many visual arts courses will ask you to supply a portfolio, and this will contribute to your selection for the course. Music-based courses may require an audition and others may require an interview, personal statement or for you to sit a test. Additional selection criteria are indicated in this booklet under prerequisites. When you re choosing your year 11 and 12 subjects, make sure you find out about prerequisites, assumed knowledge, recommended studies and additional selection criteria. These are explained on page 25. Then, when you apply for tertiary study at the end of Year 12, you are more likely to meet all requirements for entry to the course and have the foundations for successful tertiary study. NSW Institute of Teachers The NSW Institute of Teachers requires the following for admission to teaching programs for primary school (Kindergarten to Year 6) and secondary school (Years 7 to 12). Primary teaching For admission to an undergraduate primary teacher education program you should have achieved a Higher School Certificate minimum Band 4 in English (Advanced), Standard (English) or English as a Second Language; as well as Band 4 in General 2, or completion of or Extension. When you do not meet these entry requirements, a tertiary institution may offer concurrent study or appropriate bridging units and/or require satisfactory performance in approved tests in literacy and numeracy before graduation. For further details contact the course co-ordinator/s at the institutions. Secondary teaching For admission to an undergraduate secondary teacher education program you should have achieved a Higher School Certificate minimum Band 4 in English (Advanced), Standard (English) or English as a Second Language. Where you do not meet these entry requirements, a tertiary institution may offer concurrent study or appropriate bridging units and/or require satisfactory performance in an approved test in literacy before graduation. For further details contact the course co-ordinator/s at the institutions. NSW Government In March 2013 the NSW Government announced Great Teaching Inspired Learning: A Blueprint for Action, a plan to improve teaching in NSW. As requirements for teaching part of this plan, HSC students entering teaching degrees will be required to have Band 5 results in three or more subjects (one of which must be English). In addition, pre-service teachers must pass a mandatory literacy and numeracy assessment before accepting their final year teaching placement. Note that this proposal has not yet come into effect. For more information, visit www.schools.nsw.edu.au/news/ greatteaching/index.php Australian Government As part of its Better Schools: A National Plan for School Improvement, in March 2013 the Australian Government announced its proposal for a national approach to admission into teaching courses. Under the plan, admission will be based on both academic achievement and the personal qualities needed for teaching. It is proposed that selection into teaching courses could include: an interview to ensure that an applicant has the necessary emotional intelligence, resilience and commitment to teaching a portfolio of activities (such as sport coaching or community involvement) to demonstrate the applicant s values and aptitude a written statement explaining why the applicant wants to be a teacher. In addition, teaching students will be required to pass a national literacy and numeracy assessment before they can graduate. Note that this proposal has not yet come into effect. For more information, visit www.betterschools.gov.au/ Every year more than 45,000 Year 12 students apply through UAC for admission to courses offered by Selection rank An offer to study at university is based on your selection rank which is made up of your ATAR plus any bonus points you may be eligible for, plus consideration of other criteria such as portfolio, audition or interviews. Cut-offs The cut-off for a course is the minimum selection rank needed by Year 12 applicants to gain entry to that course. The course listings in the UAC Guide and on UAC s website show either the course cut-off when offers were made in the Main Round of the previous year or the institution s projected cutoffs for the coming year. The cut-offs include bonus points. Cut-offs are determined by the institution and different courses in the same faculty at an institution may have different cut-offs. Similarly, the same course at different institutions may have different cut-offs. When you are searching for courses, pay attention to the course cut-off. This is an indication of the minimum rank you will need for entry to that course. Bonus points Some applicants may receive an offer to a course even though they have an ATAR below the published cut-off. Often this is because they ve been awarded bonus points for that course. Bonus points do not change a student s ATAR, but they do increase a student s selection rank. About the HSC, the ATAR and applying to uni 7

There are various types of bonus points for Year 12 students seeking entry to tertiary study, including: regional bonus points subject bonus points. Each institution sets its own criteria for allocating these and some institutions require you to achieve a minimum ATAR before you are eligible to receive any bonus points. Regional bonus points are for students who live in or attend school in the catchment areas of specific institutions or in a certain region. Subject bonus points recognise performance in Year 12 subjects relevant to specific courses. They can differ from institution to institution and from course to course within the same institution. If you re eligible for bonus points, they will be automatically added to your application. If you have any questions about bonus points, contact the institution. It s good to understand how bonus points work, but don t be swayed into choosing certain subjects to receive bonus points. By the time you apply for tertiary study, schemes may have changed and it s more important to focus on doing well. For more information about bonus points, read the UAC Guide or visit UAC s website at www.uac.edu.au/ undergraduate/faq/atar-bonus.shtml Educational Access Schemes (EAS) Bonus points can also be awarded as a result of an application through EAS. Most institutions that participate through UAC have a scheme for applicants who ve experienced long-term educational disadvantage due to circumstances beyond their control or choosing, which has seriously affected their educational performance. A long-term educational disadvantage usually means a disadvantage that has lasted for at least six months.

You can find more publications from UAC at www.uac.edu.au/ publications FAQs about the ATAR How many subjects should I take in years 11 and 12? How many subjects you study depends on how many subjects you can realistically manage and succeed in. Generally, subjects are two units and to be eligible for the HSC you must successfully complete at least 12 units of study in Year 11 and at least 10 units in Year 12. You also need to ensure that the courses you take in years 11 and 12 will allow you to be eligible for an ATAR and give you some flexibility for entry into a range of tertiary courses. Are there any courses that I can choose to maximise my ATAR? No. You can achieve a high ATAR regardless of the courses you study. Students who achieve high ATARs are generally placed near the top in all of their courses. Can I get a good ATAR if I choose a Category B course? Yes. It doesn t matter what course you do; it is still possible to get a good ATAR. But remember that you can only include two units from Category B courses. What should I remember if I have to change schools? Not all schools offer the same HSC subjects, so check that you ll be able to continue with the subjects you have already been studying. Of the students who received an ATAR in 2012, 79.3 per cent applied for tertiary study through UAC. 8 About the HSC, the ATAR and applying to uni

If I decide to drop a subject at the end of Year 11, should I consider how it scales in my decision? UAC does not recommend that students select a course based only on how it scales. Because the ATAR is about position, the best way for students to maximise their ATAR is to choose courses they will do well in. The most important thing for Year 11 students is to make sure they will still be eligible for an ATAR if they drop any courses. Remember, to be eligible for an ATAR, students must satisfactorily complete at least 10 units of ATAR courses, including: eight units from Category A courses two units of English three Board Developed Courses of two units or greater four subjects. How do I know if the subject I m dropping is a prerequisite for a course or subject I d like to study at uni? Some tertiary courses require you to have studied certain HSC subjects, or their equivalent, or achieved a specific standard before you ll be offered a place in the course. If you don t have the required course prerequisite/s, you cannot be selected for the course. There are a few places you can check course and subject prerequisites: pages 26-86 of this booklet the undergraduate course search on UAC s website the UAC Guide institution websites. Can I accelerate my HSC studies? Yes. This means taking a Year 12 course while in Year 11. The advantages of this can be: studying fewer courses in Year 12, meaning students can focus more on those units studying a broader range of subjects having extra units from which to draw their best 10 scaled marks for inclusion in their ATAR calculation. If I complete an accelerated course in Year 11, who am I ranked with? Courses are scaled in the year they are completed and the scaled mark is available for inclusion in the ATAR calculation when the student becomes ATAR eligible. The student is ranked with others in the same ATAR cohort. Can a Category B course completed in Year 11 be included in my ATAR calculation? Yes. Any course completed in Year 11 will be available for inclusion in the ATAR calculation. Whether it is actually included will depend on whether it is among your best eight scaled units (after English). Remember also that for a Category B course to be included in the ATAR calculation, the examination must be completed. Therefore, schools must ensure that students in Category B courses who will be eligible for an ATAR are enrolled with the Board of Studies NSW for the course and the exam. Why do some subjects scale better than others? Subjects have to be scaled so that marks in different courses can be compared with each other. Courses are scaled using the mean scores and distribution of marks, which indicate the ability of the course candidature. Courses such as Extension 2 and Physics traditionally scale well because of this. However, students must achieve high HSC marks to gain any benefit from scaling. Can I be disadvantaged by the school I attend? No. The school you attend does not feature in the ATAR calculation. The ATAR calculation is based only on marks provided by the Board of Studies no other information is used. Can I be disadvantaged by where I live? No, where you live is not used in the ATAR calculation. In some courses more students get high HSC marks than in other courses. Does this affect the ATAR calculation? No, it s a student s position in their courses that is important when calculating the ATAR. Remember that the HSC marks reported to students are not used in the ATAR calculation; raw HSC marks are scaled and used in the ATAR calculation. Can students get a better ATAR by studying more units? While data show that students who study more units tend to gain higher ATARs, that is not necessarily the reason why. The relationship between the number of units studied and ATAR might result from personal attributes including interest, motivation, effort and time management. You cannot assume that simply by studying more units your ATAR will be increased. Can I get a high ATAR studying courses such as Visual Arts, Business Studies and Hospitality? Yes. It is possible to achieve a high ATAR regardless of courses studied. However, it is important to note that students who achieve very high ATARs are usually placed in the top group of students in all of their courses. Can certain courses increase my ATAR? No. Scaling is carried out afresh each year, so the scaled means are different every year. It is a myth that choosing certain courses will automatically increase a student s ATAR. A student s ATAR depends on how well they have performed compared to other students. How do I find out my ATAR? ATARs are released on UAC s website at the end of December each year. Students log in to receive their ATAR. Written ATAR Advice Notices are also sent in the mail. When is the ATAR released? ATARs are released in December each year on UAC s website. How do ACT students find out about the ATAR? Information about the calculation of the ACT ATAR is available from the ACT Board of Senior Secondary Studies. Visit www.bsss.act. edu.au or call (02) 6205 7181. Does UAC have an ATAR calculator? No. UAC only advises students of their official ATARs on ATAR release day in December each year.

Step 1: consider Year 10 is a good time to start thinking about your future not just what you d like to do for the next two years, but what you d like to do beyond that. Are you thinking of further study? Will you study at Uni or somewhere else like TAFE? Will you leave school and get a job or do an apprenticeship?

Being unsure of what you want to do next is quite common. You may already know that you would like to go on to further study. If you re looking at a specific career path you may already know what course you need to do. Tertiary study is for anyone committed to reaching their potential and wanting to acquire the skills and experience to achieve their goals. It s important that you understand all the requirements for the tertiary course you d like to study when you choose your year 11 and 12 subjects. Maybe the thought of more years of study after school isn t right for you just now. Perhaps you want to get straight into the workforce, or take up a traineeship or apprenticeship. If you enter the workforce, consider how workplaces change over time and the importance of continuing to learn as your career develops. If you decide to come back to study in the future, there are other pathways to entry. Choosing courses at school that give you the broadest range of future options will make this easier for you later. Think about your future, consider your abilities, investigate your options and make a plan. You might want to start with the following questions. what inspires you? When thinking about your future, a good place to start is by looking around at what and who inspires you. If something inspires you it will motivate you to do your best. This could be: your mum or dad other family members teachers neighbours or friends and their families someone prominent in public life like a community or church leader, politician or sportsperson a television show or documentary. Think about why these people or things inspire you. Is it what they do, the way they relate to others, their community spirit, the story they tell or the message they give? The things that inspire you can shape your future goals and dreams. what do you like to do? Think about the type of person you are and your interests. Do you like: doing things outside or inside? helping others? working with technology? organising things? talking to other people? finding out how things work? being original and creative? working on your own? working with others? When planning your future career, consider your natural inclinations and abilities. For example, you may not be happy and successful as a park ranger if you don t enjoy the outdoors. what are you good at? Think about your academic skills and interests. What subjects are you good at? What do you enjoy studying? Often these are the same because you do well at subjects you enjoy and are interested in. Investigate what jobs would use these subjects as key parts of what they do. For example, being good at geography could lead you to a variety of jobs such as a town planner, tour guide, cartographer or civil engineer. Being good at languages could lead you to a variety of jobs like customs officer, importer/exporter, foreign affairs and trade officer, language teacher or translator. Also consider what you re good at outside school. What extracurricular activities do you do? If you re good with animals, find out about jobs involving animals. The table on pages 13 17 will help link your interests to possible careers and subject choices. who can you talk to? Talk to those around you about what you think your future may hold for you. They may have some good ideas or suggest things you ve never thought of. Talk to people who work in various industries and ask them what they do. Talk with your parents and family about their career choices. Talk to your teachers. They know your abilities and could give you suggestions about careers that may suit you. Talk to friends about what they re interested in, and what they ve found out that they can share with you. Organise your own work experience. Volunteer to work somewhere for a week to see if you enjoy it. Get a part-time job. It gives you a taste of what it s like to be in the workforce. Visit careers expos and uni open days (see the list on page 88 of this booklet). Read the UAC Guide or visit the undergraduate course search on UAC s website where you only need a keyword, like music or chemistry to search more than 1,600 tertiary courses. Copies of the UAC Guide are available from your careers adviser, school library or local newsagent, or you can contact UAC for copies. Contact the institution you re interested in and talk to them about your options. You can start by looking at their websites. There s a list of UAC s participating institutions on the back cover of this booklet. Many tertiary institutions have school visit days so you can visit the campus, talk to lecturers and students and get a feel for what a tertiary institution is like. Ask your teacher about this or check the dates on page 88 and organise to attend an open day with your parents or friends. For information about courses available, visit the UAC undergraduate course search at www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/ course-search/ Step 1: consider 11

Step 2: explore Now that you are thinking about your interests, qualities and strengths, it s time to explore what careers these could lead to, what courses you could study and what subjects you could choose to begin your journey.

what are my options? The table below and on the following pages will help you map your interests and skills to some possible career paths and study options. You can then see the types of courses that may be useful to study in Year 11 and Year 12. If a course is a Category B course it has (B) after it. These lists are not meant to be exhaustive; they are a handy summary of what s available.

Step 3: decide In Step 2 you explored how your interests may lead to certain careers, areas of study and possible subject choices. Now it s time to decide on your subjects for years 11 and 12.

HSC subjects and courses At this stage don t think about what ATAR you need for a specific course at a specific university as this could change once you are ready to apply. Think more about which courses or subject area you are interested in and what will work best to help you get there. Open your mind to the multitude of possibilities. This booklet discusses both HSC subjects and HSC courses. A subject is the general name given to an area of study. A course is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have several courses. For example the subject of English has the courses of English (Standard), English (Advanced), HSC English Extension 1 and HSC English Extension 2. HSC subjects and HSC courses are listed in the table on pages 23 24. If you re sure about what you want to study at uni, make sure you can answer the following questions about your course: Are there any prerequisites? Are there recommended studies? Is there any assumed knowledge? If you want to study at uni but still can t decide on a course, choose subjects that will give you flexibility. For example, if you like both science and history you could pick from among the science and history subjects in years 11 and 12 (eg Ancient History, Biology, Chemistry, Modern History, Physics and Senior Science). You would then be prepared for further study in either subject. Keep your options flexible so when you are more sure about what you want to do, you re already partly on the way to getting there. If you re sure you don t want to go to university then your choice of subjects for years 11 and 12 will not be based on ATAR eligibility. But you may change your mind in the next couple of years and it may help you apply for tertiary study if you have an ATAR. choosing subjects Category A courses This is a general guide to the HSC subjects and courses accepted by institutions in NSW and the ACT for entrance purposes. Always check with the relevant institution to confirm the information. Category A courses are listed in the table on pages 23 24. English In New South Wales, studying English is compulsory and two units of English must be included in the calculation of your ATAR. In addition, some institutions require English as a subject prerequisite or course prerequisite. Check the areas of study in each institution entry for details. If you are considering studying English at tertiary level, English (Advanced) or HSC English Extension 1 is usually recommended. Students who complete the Stage 6 Content Endorsed course English Studies are not eligible for an ATAR. Biology/Chemistry/Earth and Environmental Science/Physics/Senior Science If you wish to study a course based on science at tertiary level for example, agriculture, engineering, natural resources, computing, medical or rural science you are advised to study as much science and mathematics as you can at school. You can do this by taking as many courses as you are able to handle within the HSC rules. A knowledge of mathematics is desirable for some tertiary courses. It is also recommended, along with physics, for all degree courses requiring a study of physics. Ideally you should select either HSC Extension 1 or HSC Extension 2 if you wish to continue studying mathematics, mathematical statistics, actuarial studies or computer science beyond your first year at uni. These courses are the best preparation for the study of all branches of engineering and physics after the first year. (not General 2) is recommended by most institutions as the minimum requirement for further study in a variety of subjects, including architecture, agricultural economics, biological sciences, business, chemistry, commerce, economics, geology, psychology, social sciences, statistics, and urban and regional planning. Languages other than English Most institutions offer courses in languages for first-year students who have no previous knowledge of the particular language. If you are considering further study in a language, however, including the language in your HSC program is to your advantage. This may be essential if you intend to proceed to fourth-year honours in that language. Also ask the relevant institution whether specific requirements have been set for the study of a language. Beginners courses are accepted by all institutions for entrance purposes but are not recommended as preparation for study in that subject. Ancient History/Economics/Geography/ Modern History Any of these HSC courses may be included in your HSC program to satisfy tertiary entrance requirements. At tertiary level, however, they are taught on the assumption that students have not studied them previously. Music Music can be included in your HSC program by studying Music 1, Music 2 or HSC Music Extension. If you are considering further study in music, find out the minimum entry standard required. Some courses require an audition. Visual Arts The study of HSC Visual Arts is acceptable for entrance purposes. If you are considering further study in visual arts, however, find out the minimum entry standard required. Most courses require presentation of a portfolio of work. This is indicated under prerequisites in the areas of study for the institution. Agriculture/Engineering Studies These HSC courses are accepted by institutions for entrance purposes. Agriculture is a useful preparation if you intend to study agricultural science, agricultural economics or rural science, while Engineering Studies is a useful preparation for the study of engineering. The best preparation includes Chemistry, Physics and if you wish to study agricultural science or rural science; or Chemistry, Physics and HSC Extension 1 if you wish to study engineering. Aboriginal Studies/Business Studies/ Dance/Design and Technology/Drama/ Food Technology/Industrial Techology/ Information Processes and Technology/ Legal Studies/Community and Family Studies/Personal Development, Health and Physical Education/Society and Culture/Software Design and Development/Studies of Religion/ Textiles and Design These HSC courses are accepted by all institutions for entrance purposes. Step 3: decide 21

Category B courses Remember that only the best two units from your Category B courses are available for inclusion in the calculation of your ATAR. Category B courses are listed in the table on page 24. Subject choice examples Following are examples of possible subject combinations chosen by students for years 11 and 12. Remember that you must have at least two units of English. John Subject Units Category English (Advanced) 2 A General 2 2 A Agriculture 2 A Earth and Environmental Science 2 A Dance 2 A Modern History 2 A John is eligible for an ATAR because he meets all the ATAR eligibility rules (see pages 5 6). John is also undertaking 12 units, so even if he drops a subject (other than English) for Year 12 he will still be eligible for an ATAR. Jodie Subject Units Category English (Advanced) 2 A 2 A Geography 2 A Financial Services 2 B Hospitality 2 B Tourism and Events 2 B Trevor Year 11 Subject Units Category English (Advanced) 2 A English Extension 1 1 A 2 A Extension 1 1 A Chemistry 2 A Biology 2 A Ancient History 2 A At the end of Year 11, Trevor decided to drop Chemistry and Biology and take on Extension 2 and English Extension 2. Trevor s new pattern of study now looks like this: Trevor Year 12 Subject ATAR Units Category English (Advanced) 2 A English Extension 1 1 A English Extension 2 1 A 0 A Extension 1 2 A Extension 2 2 A Ancient History 2 A Even though Trevor is studying all Category A courses, he is not eligible for an ATAR because he hasn t considered the eligibility rules. There are a few things to remember when picking extension courses and how many subjects you are doing. First, only up to four units of maths can be included in the ATAR calculation. So taking, Extension 1 and Extension 2 still only makes 4 units of. Taking two extension courses means 2-unit will no longer be available for the ATAR calculation. Also, to be eligible for an ATAR you must have completed four subjects. Trevor has only completed three subjects: English, and Ancient History. Note: You should also be aware that Extension 1 has a different weighting (in terms of units) depending on whether or Extension 2 is taken. If you study (2 units), then Extension 1 accounts for 1 unit. If you study Extension 2 (2 units), then Extension 1 accounts for 2 units. Tammy Subject Units Category English (Standard) 2 A Business Studies 2 A Legal Studies 2 A Economics 2 A Business Services 2 B Hospitality 2 B If Tammy kept all her courses she would be ATAR eligible. But if Tammy dropped a course this may change depending on which course she dropped. For example, if Tammy drops Business Services she will still be ATAR eligible as she still meets the ATAR eligibility rules of 8 units of Category A courses and 2 units of Category B courses. But if Tammy decided to drop Legal Studies she would no longer be eligible for an ATAR as she would then only have 6 units of Category A courses and 4 units of Category B courses. Jodie is not eligible for an ATAR because she is studying 6 units of Category A courses and 6 units of Category B courses. Remember, no more than 2 units of Category B courses can be used in the calculation of the ATAR. She therefore only has 8 units of courses that can be used to calculate the ATAR. To be eligible for an ATAR you need to have 10 units of ATAR courses. Choose courses that you are good at and you like. This will best prepare you for whatever you plan to study after the HSC and give you some flexibility if you change your mind. 22 Step 3: decide

You can study both Ancient History and Modern History, but there is only one HSC History Extension course. It is considered a course within the subject of either Modern History or Ancient History. 2. You must study Music 2 if you wish to study HSC Music Extension. 3. You may study either Studies of Religion I or Studies of Religion II, but not both. 4. You may study only one of the following languages: Croatian, Macedonian, or Serbian. 5. A student can only count either Malay Background Speakers or Indonesian Background Speakers in their pattern of study. 6. These are 240-hour Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses. An optional written examination is offered for the HSC. If you want the results from these courses to be available for inclusion in the calculation of your ATAR, subject to ATAR eligibility (see page 5), you must undertake the optional written examination. 7. Other courses are available in these VET subject areas. They are not available for inclusion in the calculation of the ATAR as there is no graded assessment in the courses. The courses range from 120 indicative hour courses to 60 or 120 indicative hour extension courses. Specialisation studies are also available in some subject areas. Check with your school or the Board of Studies NSW website at www.boardofstudies. nsw.edu.au for more information. 8. The Board of Studies NSW has developed a Financial Services VET curriculum framework that will be examined for the first time in 2013. 9. General 2 (previously General ) is to be examined for the first time in 2014 (course code to be advised). General 2 has yet to be formally categorised, but has been listed as a Category A course on the understanding that it is a replacement for General with a syllabus of a similar standard. Note that General 1 is a Content Endorsed Course only and is therefore not available for inclusion in the ATAR. 10. The Board of Studies NSW has developed an Information and Digital Technology VET curriculum framework that will be examined for the first time in 2014 and is yet to be categorised. It is expected to be categorised as a Category B course. English Studies students who complete the Stage 6 Content Endorsed course English Studies are not eligible for an ATAR. HSC-University Pathways program courses studied under the HSC-University Pathways program do not contribute to the ATAR. *HSC Extension 1 the unit value of this course changes depending on whether the course is taken in combination with or HSC Extension 2, as follows: (2-unit) + HSC Extension 1 (1-unit) HSC Extension 1 (2-unit) + HSC Extension 2 (2-unit) 24 Step 3: decide

UAC s participating institutions requirements How to read the institution entries Institutions describe their requirements in different ways because they have different policies. The following information will help you to understand each institution s entry. Check the Guide to Common terms on page 87 for further explanation of the terms used. Note that if an institution requires you to have studied a specific course in your HSC, the proper name of the course is stated for example, HSC Extension 1. See pages 23 24 for a list of HSC Board Developed courses. In some subject areas, more than one course may meet the requirements. When this occurs, institutions have not listed all of the courses they accept. You can assume that as well as the course they have included, institutions also accept courses in the same subject area that challenge higher order thinking and extension courses that enable students to undertake more in-depth study in areas of special interest. For example, if institutions accept they also accept HSC Extension 1 or HSC Extension 2, but not General 2. If the institution does not require that you have studied a specific level in your HSC, it is stated as any two units of. For example, where you read any two units of English, this means that any 2-unit English course is acceptable. Institutions that ask for any two units of science indicate what courses this includes at the beginning of their entry. Prerequisites Prerequisites are an essential prescribed level of achievement you must reach in order to be considered for admission to certain tertiary courses. There are two types of prerequisites, outlined below. Course prerequisites Some tertiary courses require you to have achieved a specified standard in an HSC course or equivalent before you ll be offered a place in the course. If you don t have the required course prerequisite/s, you cannot be selected for the course even though you may have met the admission requirements. Not all institutions have course prerequisites. Of those that do, some are very specific and state a required level you must have achieved in your HSC course. The course prerequisites marked * have minimum requirements. The minimum requirement or marks are not shown in this booklet contact the relevant institution for details. Institutions that do not specify marks state just the HSC course name. This means that you have to attempt the course, but you do not have to achieve a specific mark. Subject prerequisites Some subjects in a tertiary course require that you have achieved a specified standard in an HSC course or equivalent before you are able to enrol in those particular subjects. If you do not have the required subject prerequisite/s but have met the admission requirements for the course, you may still be selected for the course but unable to take the particular subject. Some institutions require you to have achieved a specific mark or level in your HSC course. The subject prerequisites marked * have minimum requirements or marks which are not shown in this booklet contact the relevant institution for details. Some institutions offer bridging or introductory courses to help you achieve the required standard contact the relevant institution for details. knowledge Some institutions assume you have a knowledge of specific HSC courses or equivalent before you begin the course. If you don t have the assumed level of knowledge but do have a suitable ATAR, you may still be selected for the course but you may find some difficulty coping with your studies. Some institutions offer bridging or introductory courses to help you achieve the required level of assumed knowledge contact the relevant institution for details. studies These are HSC or equivalent subjects or other courses that the institutions suggest will assist you in your chosen tertiary course. If you have not studied these HSC courses, your chances of selection are not affected, but you may be offered a bridging course. 25

If you don t have the assumed level of knowledge but do have a suitable ATAR you may still be selected for the course, but may be at a disadvantage. Some institutions offer bridging or introductory courses to help you achieve the required level of assumed knowledge. However if you include one or more of these bridging courses in your program, it could prevent you from completing your tertiary course in the minimum time. Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) A number between 0.00 and 99.95 that ranks your overall achievements in Year 12 in relation to other students, enabling institutions to rank students for selection into courses. The ATAR is calculated by institutions and released by UAC. Bachelor degree An award requiring three or four years of full-time, or equivalent part-time, undergraduate study. Combined/double degrees Allow students to complete two degrees in less time than would be taken if the two degrees are studied sequentially. Deferment Delaying the commencement of a course for a fixed period, usually up to two years. Some institutions only grant deferment in special circumstances. Diploma An award usually requiring two or three years of full-time, or equivalent part-time, undergraduate study. These courses are usually characterised by more emphasis on practical skills than on the theoretical content required for a degree. Distance education When you study off-camps, usually at a study centre or at home. Residential attendance at on-campus sessions is sometimes required. HSC subjects and courses A subject is the general name given to an area of study. A course is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have several courses. For example, within the subject of English the courses include English (Standard), English (Advanced) and HSC English Extension 1. Major studies Areas of in-depth study or specialisation within a course consisting of a sequence of subjects/units in a single discipline generally studied throughout the course. Major studies comprise more subjects/units than minor studies. In some courses it is possible to have more than one major study. Some institutions may refer to major studies as majors or specialisations. Prerequisite An essential prescribed level of achievement which must be reached in a course before an applicant is considered. There are two types of prerequisites: course prerequisites and subject prerequisites. Course prerequisites Some courses require that you have achieved a specific standard in a NSW HSC course (or equivalent) before you will be offered a place in the course. If you do not have the required course prerequisite/s you cannot be selected for the institution s course even though you may have met the admission requirements. Subject prerequisites Some particular subjects within a tertiary course require that you have achieved a prescribed standard in a specified NSW HSC (or equivalent) course/s before you are allowed to enrol in those particular subjects. If you do not have the required subject prerequisite/s but have met the admission requirements, you may still be selected for the course, but may be unable to take the particular subject within the course. Some institutions offer bridging or introductory courses to help you achieve the required standard. However, if you include one or more of these bridging courses in your program, it could prevent you from completing your tertiary course in the minimum time. studies NSW HSC (or equivalent) courses that will help you in your chosen course. If you haven t studied these courses your chances of selection are not affected. Undergraduate course An undergraduate course is an entry-level course for first-time university students that leads to a first qualification, such as a Bachelor degree, an Associate diploma, or a Diploma. Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) The central office that receives and processes applications for admission to most undergraduate courses at participating tertiary institutions. UAC notifies current NSW HSC students of their ATAR and posts offers of admission to tertiary courses to successful applicants. Guide to common terms 87
