Criminology ATAR cutoffs in NSW
44 criminology courses at 10 institutions in NSW and the ACT, from 99.95 down to 30.70. 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.
