Part 1: This booklet is for Year 10
students choosing their courses

Year 10 – for Years 11 and 12. Its aim is to

help you think about the next
A year of two years and make the best
decisions for successful study in
decisions senior school and beyond.

Introduction
In Year 10 you will choose the HSC courses that you will study for the next two years. Although there are many
pathways to uni or college, choosing the right courses for your HSC can make it easier to get into university
and succeed in your studies.

Experience life on campus, talk to faculty staff and meet
current students at a uni open day.

Or take advantage of an expanding schedule of online tours

and information sessions.

Find all the details for 2021 at uac.edu.au/open-days.

In this booklet, the universities and colleges that make offers through
UAC have listed the courses they plan to offer in 2024; that is, the
degrees and diplomas you’ll be able to study when you leave school. For
each course they have also set out, where applicable, details of:
− areas, or topics, you’ll study during the course
− prerequisites
− assumed knowledge
− recommended studies
− selection criteria in addition to the ATAR.

When you’re choosing your HSC courses, it’s particularly important to

consider the course prerequisites and assumed knowledge.

Prerequisites: These are HSC courses you need to have completed in

order to be offered a place in a university course (course prerequisites)
or a subject within that course (subject prerequisites). For example, if
you want to study a Bachelor of Engineering, the university might require
you to have studied Mathematics Advanced.

Assumed knowledge: It’s very common for institutions to assume you

have knowledge of specific NSW HSC courses when you start your
university course. They will start teaching the course based on that
assumption. So, if you haven’t studied the HSC course you can still be
selected for the university course, but you may have some difficulty
coping with your studies.

Most institutions offer bridging courses if you have not studied the HSC
courses listed as assumed knowledge, but bridging courses are not
equivalent to the two-year HSC course and may add significantly to your
workload.

Studying HSC courses listed as recommended studies will be helpful

when you study the degree but the institution will not assume you have
studied them.

The NSW HSC
Studying for the NSW HSC begins in Year 11 with preliminary
courses and ends with the HSC exams at the end of Year 12.
Your Year 12 assessment marks and your HSC exam marks will
contribute equally to your final HSC marks.

Eligibility
To be eligible for the HSC you need to meet the following
requirements:

complete at least 12 units of preliminary courses in

Year 11

complete at least 10 units of courses in Year 12.

In each year your studies must include:

6 units of Board Developed Courses

2 units of a Board Developed Course in English

3 courses of 2 or more units (either Board Developed or

Board Endorsed Courses)

4 subjects.

Being eligible for the HSC doesn’t necessarily mean you will be
eligible for an ATAR: read the next section for ATAR eligibility
requirements.

HSC courses
There are many HSC courses but not all of them can contribute
to an ATAR.

ATAR courses
ATAR courses are developed and formally examined by NESA.
These Board Developed courses are the only courses that can
be included in ATAR calculations. They are classified as either
Category A or Category B courses.

Category A courses have the academic rigour and depth of

knowledge to provide a foundation for university studies.

Category B courses on their own don’t prepare you for

university studies, but can contribute to the ATAR if the other
courses included in the ATAR are the more academically
demanding Category A courses.

ATAR and scaling myths
It’s a myth that choosing certain courses will automatically increase your ATAR. There is no magic formula for
getting a good ATAR; it all depends on how well you’ve done in all your courses in comparison to
other students.

Your HSC mark for a course will be scaled according to that course’s scaled mean. The scaled mean indicates
the academic ability of students taking the course, not the perceived difficulty of the course:
− If a course has a high scaled mean it tells us that, on average, the ability of the students in that course is
high: in general, they did well in their other courses.
− If a course has a low scaled mean it tells us that the ability of the students in that course ranges from high
to low. It doesn’t mean that you can’t get a high ATAR if you study that course.

The following table illustrates these points using data from selected 2020 HSC courses.
HSC mean = average student performance in the course
Scaled mean = average position of students taking the course across all their subjects

with a low scaled mean. achievers in all other courses.

This all means that you shouldn’t choose courses based on what you believe are the likely effects of scaling
on your ATAR. Your course choices should be based on your interests, demonstrated abilities and future
career plans.

Studying courses that you are not good at or happy with may mean you won’t do your best or achieve good
marks. Choosing courses you are good at and do well in will give you the best chance of maximising
your ATAR.

Consider Are you thinking of further

study, getting a job or doing an
apprenticeship? The following
pages will help you consider
your options.

Being unsure of what you want to do next is quite common. You may know that you would like to go on to
further study but not be sure of the type of course you’d enjoy.

If you’re looking at a specific career path you may already know what university course you need to do. It’s
important that you understand all the requirements for this course when you choose your Year 11 and 12
courses.

Maybe the thought of more years of study after school isn’t right for you just now. Perhaps you want to get
straight into the workforce, or take up a traineeship or apprenticeship.

 Fred and Laura
Fred and Laura are in Year 10.
At the moment the end of
school seems a long way
away, but they have started to consider their futures. They’re
not sure what they want to do after school but their parents
and teachers are encouraging them to consider going on to
further study after Year 12.

Fred goes to school in the city and enjoys hanging out with
his friends. He’s inspired by sports players and is the captain
of his local basketball team.

Laura goes to school in the country and grew up on her

family’s farm. She loves it when her friends come to stay
and they go horseriding, and she enjoys working with her
dad and brother on local Landcare projects.

Fred also enjoys playing on his computer; he particularly

likes a stock market game that he plays with his friends.
Fred’s dad is in business for himself and he’s been helping
Fred beat his mates. Fred also likes photography and a
couple of his basketball photos have been in the local paper.

So far in high school Fred has done well in geography,

history and commerce and he really likes these subjects,
which makes it easy for him to stay focused.

Laura’s best marks are in science subjects and her teachers

have encouraged her to continue with them in Years 11 and
12. She also really enjoys history and art classes.

Throughout this booklet we’ll use Fred and Laura’s story to

show how you can navigate your way to university.

If you enter the workforce, consider how workplaces change over time
and the importance of continuing to learn as your career develops. If you
decide to come back to study in the future, there are other pathways to
entry. Choosing courses at school that give you the broadest range of
future options will make this easier for you later.

Think about your future, consider your abilities, investigate your options
and make a plan.

You might want to start with the following questions.

The first step is to think about who you are: your interests, qualities and skills. Write these in the boxes below.

Then turn to the table ‘What are my options?’ on pages 27–34 and match your interests, qualities and skills
with those in the left‑hand column of the table. These are divided into study areas and you may find you match
one particular area of study, or several.

Step 3: qualities and skills may lead to

Decide certain careers and uni courses.

Now it’s time to decide on your
HSC courses.

HSC subjects and courses

At this stage, don’t focus on the ATAR you need for entry to a specific course as this could change once you
are ready to apply. Think more about the courses or subject areas you are interested in and what will work best
to help you get there. Open your mind to the multitude of possibilities.

This booklet discusses both HSC subjects and HSC courses. A subject is the general name given to an area of
study. A course is a branch of study within a subject. A subject may have several courses. For example, the
subject of English has the courses of English as an Additional Language or Dialect, English Studies (Cat. B),
English Standard, English Advanced, English Extension 1 and English Extension 2. HSC subjects and HSC
courses are listed in the table on pages 44–45.

36 Back to contents
 Fred and Laura
We know that Fred is interested
in both sports-based and
business degrees. These areas
of study have the subject of Mathematics Advanced in common,
so Fred’s first HSC course choice is Mathematics Advanced.
He’s also decided to choose Business Studies and a science,
Biology, to cover his interests. English is compulsory so Fred
needs to choose two more subjects. He chooses Modern
History and Visual Arts to make up his 12 units.

We know Laura is interested in degrees involving agriculture

and the environment. Common subjects in these areas of study
are Biology and Mathematics Advanced. Laura has also done
well in science so these are good HSC course choices for her.
She then chooses Visual Arts, which covers her artistic
interests, along with English, which is compulsory. Laura also
chooses Modern History, which she thinks will be interesting,
and Business Studies, which her mother thinks may be useful in
managing the farm.

With the HSC courses they’ve chosen, both Fred and Laura will
have a good background knowledge of key subjects in these
degree areas if they decide to study them.

Fred and Laura have therefore decided on the same courses for
the HSC: Biology, Business Studies, English Advanced,
Mathematics Advanced, Modern History and Visual Arts.

If you want to study at uni but don’t have a particular degree in mind,
choose HSC courses that make you eligible for an ATAR but also give
you flexibility. For example, if you like both science and history you could
pick from the science and history subjects in Years 11 and 12 (eg Biology,
Chemistry, Physics, Investigating Science, Ancient History and Modern
History). You would then be prepared for further study in either subject.
Keep your options open so that when you are more sure about what you
want to do, you’re already on the way to getting there.

If you’re sure you don’t want to go to university then your choice of

courses for Years 11 and 12 will not be based on ATAR eligibility. But you
may change your mind in the next couple of years, so it could still be a
good idea to choose courses that make you eligible for an ATAR.

Admission criteria
Some university courses require you to have studied certain HSC
courses, or their equivalent, or to have achieved a specific standard
before you’ll be offered a place in the course.

Step 3: Decide 37
 Fred and Laura
With his main areas of interest being sport and business, Fred has
looked at a couple of courses in these areas at some of the
universities in his city and checked to see if there are prerequisites,
assumed knowledge, recommended studies or any additional selection criteria. Fred has found
that if he were to apply for a degree in sport or exercise management he would need to have
Mathematics Advanced and any 2 units of English as assumed knowledge. Luckily, he has chosen
Mathematics Advanced, and English is on his list because it’s compulsory.

Laura has checked with the institution in her area about a degree in agriculture. It advises Biology
and/or Chemistry as recommended studies with Mathematics Advanced as assumed knowledge.
Laura has chosen both Biology and Mathematics Advanced so she is well prepared if she goes on
to study this course.

If you’re sure about what you want to study at uni, Category A courses

Subject and course choice examples
Following are examples of possible subject combinations chosen by students for Years 11 and 12. Remember
that you must have at least 2 units of English and you must study at least 12 units in Year 11.

First, let’s look at Fred and Laura’s course choices.

Course Units Category

Biology 2 A

Business Studies 2 A

English Advanced 2 A

Fred Laura Mathematics Advanced 2 A

Modern History 2 A

Visual Arts 2 A

Fred and Laura will be eligible for an ATAR because they meet all the ATAR eligibility rules (read page 9). At the
end of Year 11, they could drop any course, except English, and still be eligible for an ATAR.

Course Units Category

English Advanced 2 A

Mathematics Advanced 2 A

Geography 2 A
Emily
Financial Services 2 B

Hospitality 2 B

Tourism and Events 2 B

Emily will not eligible for an ATAR because she is studying only 6 units of Category A courses. No more than 2 units
of Category B courses can be used in the calculation of the ATAR. She therefore only has 8 units of courses that can
be used to calculate the ATAR. To be eligible for an ATAR you need to have 10 units of ATAR courses.

Even though Joshua is studying 10 units of Category A courses in Year 12, he will not eligible for an ATAR.

To be eligible for an ATAR you must complete four subjects. Joshua will have only completed three subjects:
English, Mathematics and Ancient History.

Joshua also needs to be aware that only 4 units of maths can be included in the ATAR calculation. So taking
Mathematics Advanced, Mathematics Extension 1 and Mathematics Extension 2 means that 2-unit
Mathematics Advanced will not be available for Joshua’s ATAR calculation, even if he excels in it.

Course Units Category

Business Studies 2 A

Legal Studies 2 A
Jessica
Economics 2 A

Business Services 2 B

Hospitality 2 B

If Jessica keeps all her courses she will be eligible for an ATAR. But Jessica will need to be careful if she
decides to drop a course.

For example, if Jessica drops Business Services or Hospitality she will still be eligible for an ATAR as she still
meets the ATAR eligibility rules of 8 units of Category A courses and 2 units of Category B courses.

But if Jessica decides to drop Legal Studies she will no longer be eligible for an ATAR as she will only have
6 units of Category A courses.

Top tips for choosing HSC courses
− Make the link between your choices now and where you want to go after Year 12.
− If you want to get an ATAR, make sure you will be eligible. NSW Year 12 students must complete at least
10 units of ATAR courses. These ATAR courses must include at least:
• 8 units of Category A courses
• 2 units of English
• three Board Developed courses of 2 units or greater
• four subjects.
You can include up to 2 units of Category B courses.
− Choose HSC courses that you’re good at and interested in, and that will lay a foundation for your future
plans. In particular, choose courses that will prepare you well for the areas of university study you’re
planning to pursue.
− If you’re not sure what level maths and English to take, choose the level that suits your ability and future
plans, rather than trying to take advantage of how courses are scaled: you will not necessarily get a higher
ATAR just by studying a lower level course. And be aware that while unis often increase your selection rank
in recognition of your performance in particular HSC courses (usually for Bands 5 and 6), they don’t always
reward your performance in the lower level courses, no matter how well you do.
− Just about any combination of courses can lead to a good ATAR; it all depends on how well you do in all
your courses in comparison to other students. The table below addresses a number of scaling ‘myths’.
− Check if the uni you want to go to, or the course you want to do, has prerequisites (these can include a
high-level maths or English course) and assumed knowledge. Details are published in Part 2 of this booklet.
− To make good choices about what to study, work to the best of your ability and focus on your goals for life
after school.

HSC Board Developed courses to be examined in 2023 45

 Part 2: Institution criteria
In this section, UAC’s participating institutions have listed the
courses they plan to offer in 2024.

46 Back to contents
Under each course listed on the following pages, institutions
have provided, where relevant, details of the following:
− areas of study within the course
− additional selection criteria
− prerequisites
− assumed knowledge
− recommended studies.

If these details are not provided under the course heading,

there is no specific information you need to keep in mind when
choosing your HSC courses.

Note that if an institution requires you to have studied a

specific course in your HSC, the full name of the course is
stated (eg Mathematics Extension 1). Refer to pages 44–45 for
a list of HSC Board Developed courses.

In some subject areas, more than one course may meet the
requirements. When this occurs, institutions have not listed all
of the courses they accept, but you can assume they will
accept extension courses and courses in the same subject area
that challenge higher order thinking. For example, if institutions
accept Mathematics Advanced they also accept Mathematics
Extension 1 or Mathematics Extension 2, but not Mathematics
Standard 2.

If the institution does not require you to have studied a specific

level in your HSC, it is stated as ‘any 2 units of’. For example,
where you read ‘any 2 units of English’, this means that any
2-unit English course is acceptable. Institutions that ask for
‘any 2 units of science’ indicate what courses this includes at
the beginning of their entry.
