Entry requirements
Please note: Admission to Law in 2026 was based on a combined assessment of academic results and LAT performance using the Law admission algorithm. The published figures above should be treated as indicative only. Meeting the lowest published score and sitting the LAT did not guarantee an offer.
2027 will be the first year where entry is based solely on applicants’ selection rank. As such, admission indicators from previous years are indicative only.
-
- The 2026 Lowest Selection Rank (LSR) is the adjusted rank (ATAR plus adjustment factors) you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2026.
- The 2026 A levels score is based on four Advanced Level (A2) subjects. Entry scores are calculated from the best three or four A2 subjects (excluding repeated subjects) using the following values: A*=6, A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1. At most one Applied A Level subject may be included in the best four subjects used to calculate the aggregate.
- The 2026 IB Diploma is an indication of the IB you would have needed to gain entry to this degree in 2026. It is to be used as a guide only.
- The 2026 Lowest ATAR is the lowest ATAR (before adjustment factors were applied) to which an offer was made. Where <5 is listed, this indicates that less than 5 ATAR-based offers were made and so the score has not been published. N/A indicates no offers were made on the basis of ATAR.
*The Lowest ATAR to which an offer was made, for this program, is based on a 91É«ÇéƬ Gateway Early Conditional Offer.
