Class of 2024 UAC Offers

The Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) administers university offers for students in NSW and ACT. Previously, this was the only mechanism in which students managed university offers and applied to university. Now, with the rise of Early Entry and Direct Entry being offered to students from universities such as Australian National University (ANU), University of Technology (UTS) and Macquarie University, students can receive offers directly from institutions in addition and sometimes instead of UAC. Most students apply to multiple Early Entry schemes as well as UAC; however, it is difficult to gather the data as to which offers are accepted as universities do not provide offer or enrolment data to schools. In late March, after the census date, a post-school destination survey will be sent to the Class of 2024 to gather accurate information.

In the meantime, the UAC data available does provide an interesting picture of where and what students are interested in studying. It is important to keep in mind that ANU is not represented accurately in this data as their main form of entry is Direct Entry.

Offers By Institution

University of Sydney remains a popular choice for students, but it is important to note there are no Early Entry offers with this university, and UAC is the only way to apply.

Offers by Study Area

There was a significant increase in Management and Commerce and a reduction in Engineering offers compared to last year. This year saw a rise in offers for the B.Commerce at  University of Sydney, which may be due to the removal of the Maths Advanced prerequisite requirement and the lowering of the ATAR from 95 to 93.

It is important to note this is only a small snapshot of the Class of 2024, with a number of students attending TAFE and deciding to pursue work and travel.

We look forward to keeping in touch and hearing of their many adventures.
