Applications stable for uni in 2022

UNIVERSITY application statistics for 2022 have been released today by the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). At the end of November 71,875* people had applied through UAC for study in 2022. This includes more than 40,000 NSW HSC students who are waiting on the release of their results.

Many students have also applied directly to individual universities for study next year to maximise their chances of receiving an offer. UAC has processed another 89,000^{^}of these applications on behalf of individual universities^#.

ATARs will be released at 9am on Thursday 20 January 2022 to give Year 12 students time to review their preferences before offers are released.

Preferences can be changed until midnight on Friday 21 January and the first main round of offers for Year 12 students based on the ATAR will be released at 7.30am on Wednesday 26 January.

There’s still time to apply – applications for first semester are open until Friday 4 February 2022.
