This article may be handy for people who are looking at UC. Most people may be relying on the cut off of 73 to get them in - it is now 75 minimum. Unfortunately, no other cut off were announced.
The University of Canberra (UC) said today it was absolutely delighted by the significant increase in applications it had received for its undergraduate courses in 2004.
UC said that based on University Admissions Centre (UAC) data, total preferences were up by more than 11 per cent compared with the same time last year, with an almost seven per cent increase in first preferences.
Overall, preferences from school leavers had increased by more than 13 per cent, and those from non-school leavers by six per cent.
UC had experienced the fourth highest percentage increase among participating UAC universities, behind the University of Western Sydney, the University of New England and the University of Sydney.
Pro Vice Chancellor Academic, Professor John Dearn, said that while UC was treating these preference trends with some caution, it was apparent that intensive marketing by the university and academic divisions had paid dividends.
We are also very pleased with the standard of students joining the UC undergraduate community next year.
Professor Dearn said that among the more popular degrees selected by students from Canberra and the Australian Capital Region were a number of health science courses, notably nursing, human nutrition, psychology and forensics.
Also popular were architecture, graphic design and primary teaching, and all three strands of UCs sports studies course media, coaching and management.
........................
Professor Dearn said UCs UAI cut off score of 75 for next year reflected the high demand for its courses.
