Applications are welcome from school leavers and mature age students Australia wide and internationally. The ANU School of Art is part of the Universities Admission Centre (UAC) network, so all Australian and New Zealand undergraduate candidates must apply to UAC. A UAC application form is available in the Student Information Guide (SIG) issued to all NSW ACT year 12 students. Applications are due by the last working day in September.  When completing the UAC application form please use the School of Art codes.
