Overview
UNSW’s Bachelor of Computer Science is a direct-entry, rank-based undergraduate program. Standard admission is driven primarily by academic results (ATAR or equivalent secondary qualifications), with English proficiency required for applicants who do not already satisfy UNSW’s language rule. Portfolio and statement-of-purpose materials are not part of the standard selection basis for this degree.

Admission criteria

PortfolioLow

Not used for standard admission to this degree; UNSW’s portfolio entry scheme is for selected Arts, Design & Architecture degrees, not Computer Science.

Bar to clear: Not used by this program

Statement of PurposeLow

Not used as a standard admission criterion for this degree; UNSW’s published entry requirements focus on academic rank/qualifications and English proficiency, not an admissions essay.

Bar to clear: Not used by this program

Academics & GPAHigh

This is the decisive admission factor: UNSW publishes a lowest ATAR/selection-rank threshold and direct-entry academic equivalents for the degree.

Bar to clear: ATAR 85.0 (LSR 93.0) or equivalent

Test scoresLow

English test results matter for applicants who must prove English proficiency; UNSW accepts tests or equivalent prior English-medium study, but these scores are not the main ranking factor for entry.

Bar to clear: IELTS 6.0 overall, minimum 5.5 in each subtest (or equivalent)

How to stand out
Aim for at least the published academic bar, and better if you want room for adjustment factors.
If English is not already satisfied by prior study, submit a current accepted test result with strong sub-scores.
Use the direct-entry equivalency table carefully if you are applying with a non-Australian qualification.
