Its aim is to help you think about the next two years and make the best decision for successful study in senior school and beyond.  \nPART 1: YEAR 10 – A YEAR OF DECiSiONS | 01  \n STEPS TO UNI FOR YEAR 10 STUDENTS  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn 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.  \nIn this booklet, the universities and colleges that make offers through UAC have listed the courses they plan to offer in 2023; 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:  \n− areas of study − prerequisites  \n− assumed knowledge  \n− recommended studies  \n− additional selection criteria.  \nIt’s particularly important to consider university prerequisites and assumed knowledge when choosing your HSC courses.  \nPrerequisites are HSC courses you need to have completed in order to be offered a place ina university course (course prerequisites) or a subject within that course (subject prerequisites) .  \nSome institutions assume you have knowledge of specific NSW HSC courses or equivalent when you start your university course. If you haven’t studied the HSC course you can still be selected for the course, but you may have some difficulty coping with your studies.  \nMost 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.  \nThis booklet also provides:  \n− general information about HSC courses, how the ATAR is calculated and used for university entry, and why your selection rank for a course might be higher than your ATAR  \n− worksheets to guide you through the steps involved in choosing your courses for Years 11 and 12.  \nIf you’re not sure about the","cbCairqT4jktAd4N","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairqT4jktAd4N","pdf",3780671,1,132,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## About UAC\n## UAC jargon\n# The HSC and the ATAR\n## Applying to uni\n## Frequently asked questions\n# Step 1: Consider\n## Who inspires you\n## What do you like to do\n## What are you good at\n## Who can you talk to\n## Brainstorming\n## Worksheets\n# Step 2: Explore\n## What are my options?\n# Step 3: Decide\n## HSC subjects and courses\n## Choosing courses\n## Top tips for choosing HSC courses\n## Prerequisites\n## Additional selection criteria\n## Assumed knowledge\n## Recommended studies\n# Institutions\n## University list\n# Uni Open Days","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this booklet for Year 10 students?\",\"answer\":\"It helps Year 10 students choose HSC courses for Years 11 and 12, think through the next two years, and make decisions that support successful senior school study and later pathways.\"},{\"question\":\"How do UAC and the ATAR relate to university entry?\",\"answer\":\"UAC receives and processes applications and calculates and provides the ATAR for NSW HSC students.
