Architecture ATAR cutoffs in NSW
11 architecture courses at 5 institutions in NSW and the ACT, from 97.05 down to 70.05. Double degrees are included. Cutoffs are the lowest selection rank offered a place in UAC's December Round 2 for 2026 entry.
A selection rank includes adjustment points, so some students got in with a lower ATAR. Cutoffs move every year, so treat them as a guide and check each course's prerequisites before you put it in your preferences.
