THE ADFA DUAL ADMISSION PROCESS

University of New South Wales

Applying for ADFA is a dual application process. As it is a competitive process, which can take up to 12 months, it is preferable that you apply in Year 11. You must complete both processes listed below to gain successful admission into ADFA. These processes should be completed concurrently.

Application Process

Eligibility for ADFA

To be eligible for ADFA you should be in at least Year 11 at school and undertaking a tertiary package, or have completed Year 12 with an entrance rank that will qualify you for entry into UNSW. After applying, you'll go through a selection process that will determine your physical and mental fitness and your suitability to become an officer in the ADF. All applications to ADFA must be submitted by calling 13 19 01 or applying online.

An offer by the ADF to study at ADFA is conditional on meeting the educational admission requirements for UNSW.

Note: You must be an Australian citizen or hold permanent residency status with the intention of gaining Australian citizenship once you are eligible.

THE ADFA DUAL ADMISSION PROCESS

Eligibility for UNSW

Admission to UNSW is based on academic merit. You will be considered for admission to undergraduate programs at UNSW on the basis of your academic performance in:

  • Australian and New Zealand final secondary studies and/or
  • post-secondary or tertiary qualifications and/or
  • overseas qualifications considered equivalent to Australian studies and/or
  • an alternative entry scheme

Applicants must meet the published minimum entrance rank identified for a specific degree. Though there are no specific prerequisite requirements for entry to UNSW undergraduate degrees it will be assumed candidates have studied certain subject areas in their final year of high school.

Assumed Subject Knowledge

Assumed Subject Knowledge is the level of subject knowledge that a lecturer or a tutor of a first year UNSW course could reasonably expect all students enrolled in that course to know at the outset.

If you do not have the level of Assumed Subject Knowledge, you are not prevented from applying for admission or enrolling in any courses, when the degree program begins, but you may be placed at a considerable disadvantage.

If you have not achieved the recommended level of Assumed Subject Knowledge, you are strongly advised that it is in your best interest to undertake a bridging program or other preparation courses, such as UniLearn.
