Admission
For applicants applying for admission to UNSW through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC), this section lists the UAC codes which correspond to the Science programs offered by UNSW.

For admission requirements for Science programs please refer to the appropriate entry in the current UAC Guide or refer to the UAC website: www.uac.edu.au

429000 Science
This is applicable to study in a wide range of Science areas in the Bachelor of Science program 3970, as indicated by the majors outlined in Table A.

429003 Science (Communication)
This is applicable to study in a wide range of Science areas in conjunction with a Science Communication stream in the Bachelor of Science (Communication) program 3993. The majors available are the same as for 3970, with the exception of Philosophy, and History and Philosophy of Science.

429004 Science (Media and Communications)
This is applicable to study in a wide range of Science areas, in conjunction with a Media and Communications stream, in the Bachelor of Science (Media and Communications) program 3994. The majors available are the same as for 3970, with the exception of Philosophy, and History and Philosophy of Science.

429007 Medical Science
This is applicable to study in the Bachelor of Medical Science program 3991.

429008 Environmental Science
This is applicable to study in the Bachelor of Environmental Science program 3988.

429013 Advanced Science
This is applicable to study in areas of biological science, behavioural science, chemistry, mathematics and physics in the program 3972 as outlined in the Advanced Science study plan descriptions.
This is also applicable to study in program 3986 (Mathematics and Finance) as outlined in the Study Plan description.
The number of places available each year in the Advanced Science programs is limited and this is reflected in a higher UAI. The minimum UAI for these programs is 90.

429016/429017 This is applicable to study Aviation (Flying or Management) in programs 3980/3981.

429018 This is applicable to study Biotechnology in program 3052.

429025 This is applicable to study Optometry/Science in program 3952.

429026 This is applicable to study Psychology in program 3432, leading to a Bachelor of Psychology.

429011 This is applicable to study Nanotechnology in program 3617.

425001 This is applicable to study a number of Materials Science and Engineering plans in physical and process metallurgy, ceramic and materials engineering.
