Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying humanities & social sciences

Arts and social science degrees are built around majors you choose, such as history, politics, languages, sociology or philosophy. They are usually flexible, and are often combined with another degree.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into humanities & social sciences courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite. A few majors, languages especially, assume prior study, so check the major as well as the degree.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2024, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

Do students stay and finish?

Source: Dept of Education, 2024

Of students who started at UNE in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree
52.4%
Still studying
7.9%
Left after returning
26.7%
Never came back after first year
13%

More recently: of new UNE bachelor students in 2023, 21.6% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching.
