Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme (FEAS)

Applications for 2020 T1 intake are open now. Please see application portal link below to apply. 

Applications close midnight Sunday 1st December 2019.

We know that things don’t always go to plan, so if you are expecting an ATAR between 83.00 and 92.95 and want to study at UNSW, apply for the Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme (FEAS). This is an alternative pathway for students who want to study at UNSW but don’t meet the Guaranteed Entry Rank (GE) of 93.00.

FEAS applies to most UNSW Engineering undergraduate programs, including the double degrees with a GE of 93.

We will evaluate your ability in mathematics, physics and other sciences, design and problem solving, as well as attitude and motivation towards engineering studies.
