Applications for undergraduate study in 2024 are opening on 5 April. If you're a Year 12 student in NSW and ACT, we'll email you your PIN that morning so you can get started on your application.
Got questions? We'll be running a live session on our social channels at 5.30pm 5 April with everything you need to know about UAC and how to apply.

VR Mining Career Experience
On Friday 31st March 24 Year 10 and 11 students were able to use Virtual reality goggles to experience a mine site and careers that relate to the mining industry. The Mineral Council of Australia fully sponsored the experience for students.A highlight for the students was to drive an ore truck around the mine site, and have Bruce (the employee) talk and interact with the students through the VR goggles regarding the mining activity. Students were able to visit an open cut mine, as well as an underground mine. Some of the mines the students visited around Australia were Dubbo, Mt Isa, and a sand mine in Tomago near Newcastle.
