Eligibility

LAT is a requirement for domestic applicants* who wish to study an Undergraduate Law Degree program (Double Law UAC code 426000 or Psychology (Honours)/Law UAC code 426060) at UNSW Sydney. 

Domestic applicants are those who are Australian citizens or permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens.

Eligible applicants

• are currently enrolled in their final year of secondary schooling (year 12 HSC or equivalent).
• have already completed their secondary schooling (e.g. those on a gap year).
