SECTION D: ACADEMIC FIELDS
Your application for the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme is for Mid-Year 2015 admission to Engineering at
UNSW. We ask you to choose a field of Engineering as this will help us choose interviewers. This choice does not
limit how you decide your UAC Preferences. You can, however, indicate a generic interest in Engineering. In 2006 we
introduced a flexible first year program (UAC Code: 425000), following which you can elect to study the engineering
program of your choice* from Year 2 onwards. If you are undecided, then let us know and we can discuss your
choices and interests.
The Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS) applies to all undergraduate engineering programs within the
Faculty of Engineering at UNSW, including the BSc Computer Science programs (425800), BSc Food Science &
Technology (425600).
FEAS is available for combined degree programs which may admit students with an ATAR in the range 81-90.95, but
will not affect admission to programs for which the ATAR cut-off is above 91.
FEAS is NOT available for engineering programs offered in the Faculty of Science at UNSW: 429600 BE Materials
Science and Engineering; 429630 BE Materials Science and Engineering/Master of Biomedical Engineering.
* Subject to academic performance and available places in the preferred program
