    When New Zealand students apply to universities in Australia, their NCEA Level 3 results are converted to an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) score by New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA), who sends the score directly to Australian admissions centers rather than releasing it to the student; the ATAR is calculated based on the best grades across 5 Level 3 NCEA subjects, with only the top 20 credits from each subject counting towards the score; the document provides examples of ATAR scores required for different programs at University of New South Wales and lists the admissions websites for Australian state tertiary institutions.

    Hi

    When students who complete their secondary schooling in NZ apply to commence


    their university studies in Australia, NCEA Level 3 results are converted into an
    equivalent ATAR score. This process is completed by NZQA and your ATAR score
    is not released to you –ie NZQA send it straight to the Australian tertiary
    admissions centres to then disseminate to individual universities. This is an
    automatic process – ie if you apply to one or more Australian universities then you
    name will be sent to NZQA by the national Australian tertiary admissions
    organisation.

    ATAR score calculation: 5 Level 3 NCEA subjects x 20 credits per subject – ie you
    have to perform consistently well across all your subjects to get a strong ATAR
    score. If a student gets 24 E’s in Subject A, and 4 E’s, 8M’s and 12A’s in Subject
    B – then for the purposes of calculating equivalent ATAR score, only 20 E’s from
    Subject A will count and for subject B 4E’s, 8 M’s and 8A’s will count.

    For your interest, the link below will take you to the ATAR scores for entry to
    UNSW courses in 2010 (scores do not tend to change much from year to year –
    2011 scores will not be available until much later this year).
    For example, if you were planning to apply for direct entry to law school at UNSW
    your NCEA results would need to convert to an equivalent ATAR score of 99.55
    (this is a percentile – ie you would have to be near top of NZ cohort sitting L3),
    and if you for a BSc or BA you would need an equivalent score of 70.

    IB: For IB students, Law requires an IB total of 44 and for BA or BSc, a total of 25.

    You can search this information for each university on their website – or
    alternatively go to the relevant state admissions site:

    Northern Territories www.satac.edu.au


    (note: the South Australia admissions centre also handles Northern Territories
    admissions)
    Queensland www.qtac.edu.au
    South Australia www.satac.edu.au
    Tasmania www.tas.edu.au
    (note: Tasmania manages its own admissions)
    UNSW www.unsw.edu.au
    Victoria www.vtac.edu.au
    Western Australia www.tisc.edu.au

    I will be holding an ‘Applying to Australia’ Careers Lunch early next term and take
    students through the full process of how to apply for Australia. In the meanwhile,
    if you are keen on exploring options in Australia, go to the Careers MPower page,
    look for the kangaroo and do some research.

    Best wishes
