When assessing your offer, we consider:
Which selection rank do we use? | Offer round |
---|---|
Your ASA Year 11 Rank.
This rank is calculated using your performance in Year 11, your school's average ATAR performance in previous years, and any applicable adjustment factors. Your ANU Selection rank is a measure of your suitability for our programs; it may differ from ATAR-predications provided by your school. We do not use, or calculate your predicted ATAR. To successfully calculate your ASA Year 11 Rank we need to receive your results in a certain format. While most schools in Australia will already use this format, some do not. Please download the ANU Supplementary Form. If your result format is not one of the acceptable formats, please ask your school to translate your grades using the ANU Supplementary Form.
The completed supplementary form with your school reports should be uploaded against your application. | Early round offers are made using your ASA Year 11 Rank only. Offers are conditional on your completion of the Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (AQF) with an ATAR, or the International Baccalaureate with an IB Score. |
Your ASA Selection Rank This rank is the best of your ASA Year 11 Rank or ATAR, and any applicable adjustments. | Final round offers are made using your ASA Selection Rank. |
Some programs at ANU have pre-requisites. This means that in order to receive an offer to study these programs you must have completed certain subjects during Year 11 or Year 12. These pre-requisites are designed to help you thrive at university. You can find out more about programs which have pre-requisites by going to our Programs and Courses page.
ANU follows the state subject equivalencies set by the Universities Admissions Centre. For more information, visit the UAC information page.
Chemistry:
If you wish to study a single degree program that requires chemistry, you must have passed chemistry in Year 11.
Mathematics:
For single degree programs requiring maths, you must be currently enrolled in the relevant Year 12 mathematics subjects for your chosen degree.
Flexible Double Degree Engineering or Advanced Computing:
To receive an early offer to this Flexible Double Degree you must meet the minimum pre-requisite of being enrolled in Mathematics Advanced in NSW (or an interstate equivalent) during Year 12, in addition to meeting the minimum selection rank for entry.
Each program within the Flexible Double Degree may have additional, higher pre-requisite requirements.
Pre-requisite assessment is finalised when your Year 12 results are released. When you accept your final offer to the Flexible Double Degree, you will only be able to select those programs for which you have met the program specific pre-requisites and minimum selection rank.
If you have not enrolled in the required course, you should consider bridging programs to assist you with obtaining the courses you need for your desired program. You can also look at alternative programs that do not require the prerequisite and apply for internal transfer to be considered for your preferred program. If you are concerned about this affecting your ability to get an unconditional offer at ANU, please contact admissions@anu.edu.au.
Some programs at ANU have additional selection criteria which is assessed alongside your academic results to determine your eligibility for an offer. You can find out more details about these programs here.
Applications to ANU are open to all students, and we prioritise offers of admission by the following tiers:
All the students have listed the same program as their first preference, and fulfil the academic requirements for their preferred program.
Under the admissions process, the first place is allocated to Bahaar as they have tier 1 status, the second place is allocated to James in tier 2 and the third place is allocated to Sarah in tier 3.
After final Year 12 results are released, we will automatically re-assess all applications based on your ASA Selection Rank. This rank is the best of your ASA Year 11 Rank or ATAR/IB Score, and any applicable adjustments.
You will be made an offer to your highest eligible preference. If you received an early offer, it will be honoured as long as:
If you change preferences again in a later offer round, and receive an offer to a different program than what you have already received an offer to, your initial offer will be overriden. Applicants may only hold one valid offer to ANU through this application method.
If you apply to other institutions through the University Admissions Centre (UAC), we WILL NOT consider any documents you upload or any ANU preferences you include as part of that application – once you apply through the Early Offer (ASA) pathway, that is the only place we will consider your documents or ANU preferences. The only exception to this is applicants for the Bachelor of Health Science and the Bachelor of Philosophy, Neuroscience and Psychology, who may apply through both methods.
Not for general admission to ANU; some programs do have a maths pre-requisite.
ANU had planned to implement an English and mathematics requirement for students applying for admission in 2025. This requirement would have required all applicants to complete at least one English and one mathematics course during their senior secondary studies.
While we strongly believe studying these subjects is valuable and the skills you learn will help you succeed at ANU and beyond, they are now not mandatory for most programs. Please be advised some programs do have a mathematics pre-requisite, or assume you have studied senior-secondary mathematics. You can check the requirements for your preferred degree on Programs and Courses.
