  • Two additional subjects at 75 or higher.
• A letter of recommendation for the program from your school Principal, Year Advisor, Subject Coordinator or Careers Adviser.
• A letter of recommendation from an Aboriginal Elder or Community member (this could be the Aboriginal Liaison Officer at your school).

NOTE: Newcastle Law School does not wish to discourage potential applicants who have achieved close to the above standards but have faced challenges that have limited their academic performance. If you have achieved a performance over 70% in three subjects, including English, and have faced complicating circumstances during your HSC studies, we welcome your application.
