Hey guys does anyone know here whats the deal with UWS "Subject Bonus Scheme Points" scheme? Do you automatically obtain +10 UAI points if you satisfy 1 requirement like say for business@UWS is says you would get 10UAI points if you got E3 or E4 in Ext1 English. It seems too good to be true.

i did my hsc in 2007 and got a UAI of about 77 and if wanted to do a course at UWs that was lets say 82 i could do it because they would give extra 5... i dont thinkg its 10 but sound like wayyyyyy too many ......

so yeah by the way u have to living in western sydney are to qualify for that Bonus Scheme i think.......GOOD LUCK!

yeah i knew you had to live in the area to get the 5 points...but for the bonus 10 points it doesn't seem to be location related, but rather dependent on what subjects you did for HSC and how you scored in them.

BTW i was asking for someone else...Im already at uni...for awhile...and still no end in sight :(.

It’s not too good to be true! :)

A bonus of 5 points is going to be added to the UAC ranks of students that have a UAI of at least 60, did their HSC/IB in 2007 and live in Greater Western Syd (by postcode).

There is also the chance to get bonus points for performing well in specific subjects in your HSC if they relate to your degree. This can be either 5 or 10 bonus points (for this one you also have to live in Greater Western Syd).

The bonus points are awarded AUTOMATICALLY – u don’t have to do a thing. You can get both the subject bonus AND regional bonus points – but the maximum bonus you can receive in total is 10 points.

Have a look at www.uws.edu.au/admissions - it has the lists of subjects and all the info on bonus points (and the postcodes mentioned above).

I'm getting a bonus 10 on my application for Social Science because I got E3 in History Extension.

It's true, they have a big list of the courses and what you get bonuses for on their site, it's an interesting read. That, and the co-operation of the Staff at UWS really impressed me.

hey guys!
My friends told me that you can get 10 points:
1) 5 points for being in the region
2) 5 points If your first preference is UWS

is this true?

You don't get 5 points for having it as your first preference but the region point is true.

Its not always that easy to get in. I was only .8 off the UAI needed to get into the UWS nursing degree back when I did my HSC and didnt get an offer. And that was for a course that isnt all that popular compared to other degrees. You dont get any bonus marks if you dont get a minimum UAI/ATAR of 60.
