UNSW
Law Admission Test
Closes 13 August
The Law Admission Test (LAT) is a professionally designed and marked selection test developed to assess the types of aptitudes and skills that are critical to success in the Law program at UNSW Sydney. UNSW Law & Justice has always been a destination of choice for students wanting to study Law. Demand is strong, places are limited and the ATAR can only tell us so much about applicants, so we introduced the LAT to assess the skills directly relevant to studying Law at UNSW. If you are a Domestic applicant and would like to study Law at UNSW, you will need to sit the LAT.
Your LAT score, in addition to your academic results (e.g. ATAR + adjustment factors), is used in our selection process to allow us to better differentiate between the many high-achieving applicants to Law.

ARTiculate Economics
University of Sydney - Health Economics to support understanding microeconomics
Tuesday 20 July, 4 – 4.45pm
Healthcare is a rich setting in which to study economics. While much of economics avoids discussing value judgements and focus on questions that have objective and verifiable answers, all polices are ultimately based on a value judgement. It is impossible to avoid discussing the values that lie behind the policy in health economics. In this talk, we will examine the key questions such as how we decide what is fair, while looking at some examples from the COVID-19 policy response. This talk is suitable for Year 11-12 students.

Exhibition: Thursday 17 June to Friday 30 July 2021
Emergence brings together decades of architectural research from the Byera Hadley Travelling Scholarship in an interactive exhibition and a series of public talks. Established in 1951, the scholarship is based on the belief that travel, across Australia and the world, is key to developing exciting new architectural ideas and continuing strong discourse throughout the profession. Drawing on this deep trove of knowledge, Emergence will showcase over 35 unique projects dispersed across a field of ‘fragments’. Paralleled in a digital twin, the show aims to foster curiosity in research, uncover previously unimagined connections and create a place for participants to dwell and discover.
