Annabelle Honner
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture
Why did you choose the Bachelor

of Science in Agriculture?
Agriculture has always been a huge
part of my life and I am extremely
passionate about it. I grew up on
a farm on the Liverpool Plains in
NSW, so my interest in agriculture
was sparked early in life.
What do you find most interesting
about your degree?
Learning about the gaps that
agriculture needs to fill to meet
the growing global demand for
food. I believe Australia has
huge potential to be one of the
main players in increasing food
production, so learning about new
technology and innovations in
farming is both very interesting
tome and hugely relevant.
What advice would you give

to an incoming student who is
interested in agricultural science?
Get involved the University
of Sydney has an amazing
Agricultural Society, which is a
great way to meet like-minded
people, network and find out about
agricultural events and potential
career options. My other piece of
advice is to persevere first year
might seem hard, but it is worth
it and study gets easier as you
progress through your degree.
What sort of career do you hope
to have after graduating?
I am set on entering a career in crop
and pasture agronomy. Being able
to increase agricultural production
without degrading natural
resources, such as soil, is at the
core of meeting the growing global
food demand. I hope that the work
I do will contribute in some way to
greater worldwide foodsecurity.

Andrew Thomas
Bachelor of Economics (2011)/Bachelor of Laws

(2013), Founder of the Manjeri School Program
The Manjeri School Program is a

community-based project led by alumni
that is creating real change in a small
Ugandan town. The program has built
and manages a primary school for 300
students. It has also established several
social enterprises to generate sustainable
sources of revenue for the community.
Page 48
What is the aim of the program?

We believe that education is one of the
critical enablers to breaking the poverty
cycle. Many of our students, all between the
age of five and 15, would not otherwise have
access to formal schooling.
What difference will the program make?
When we first arrived, the school was
bankrupt and lacked a steady source of
income. In 2015, after nearly a year of
planning, we launched its largest social
enterprise yet the Manjeri Mixed Farm.
The 15acre farm will produce maize,
cassava, vegetables and goats, and is on track
to become the primary source of revenue for
the school.
What are your future plans?
Unlike many charities, the Manjeri School
Project has a very clear exit strategy. We
aim to ensure the school is financially selfsustainable by2018.

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)(Space)

Bachelor of Science (Advanced)
Why did you choose a combined

engineering and science degree?
Together, these degrees equip me with
all the skills I need to excel as a graduate.
Science gives a fantastic understanding
of the inner workings of the world around
us, while engineering teaches a range
of approaches to problem solving. I was
inspired by some interesting research
groups at the University of Sydney in
thescience and engineering faculties.
What do you find most interesting
aboutyourdegree?
Although I enjoy coursework, most of the
interesting opportunities I have taken part
in at university have come from outside of
lecture halls and textbooks. For example, I
took part in the Talented Student Program
I was a member of Sydneys gold medal

winning team at the International
Genetically Engineered Machine
competition for undergraduate research in
synthetic biology, held in the United States;
and building and launching a 3D printed
satellite as part of the Intercollegiate Rocket
Engineering Competition, also in the US.
What advice would you give to a student
who is interested in engineering
andscience?
Consider a combination of your strengths
and interests. For most people, a cross-over
between the two is a huge driver of academic
and professional success. But dont worry
if you arent sure yet university courses
are surprisingly flexible, and if you take
relatively general subjects in first year, such
as maths, physics, or Flexible First Year
engineering, then you can decide on your
direction as you go.
What sort of career are you aiming for?
After graduating I plan to pursue a
PhD. Following that, I hope to work in
a field where I can apply my scientific
understanding to solving big challenges.

Access Sydney
Access Sydney offers alternative
entry pathways for Year 12
students, and you may be eligible
to apply for more than one.
Early Offer Year 12 (E12) Scheme
Transferring
The E12 scheme shifts focus from the ATAR alone

you can show us more about yourself and your
enthusiasm for a course of study. E12 is for students
who have been financially disadvantaged during
their time at school and who have the potential to
succeed at the University of Sydney. It offers ATAR
concessions for selected courses. In 2016 there
aremore than 39 courses to choose from.
If you dont get into the course you want in your

first year, you may be eligible to reapply after you
complete one full-time year of tertiary study at the
University of Sydney or another tertiary institution.
With E12 you could have an early conditional offer,

a scholarship and an Apple iPad to assist you with
your studies, as well as support for your transition
touniversity study.
Who is it for?
To be eligible to apply for E12, you need to be:
currently a domestic student* undertaking
the HSC or IB at a NSW high school;
studying any required HSC or IB subjects
for your selected E12 course; and
supported by your school principal.

In addition, you need to be either:
studying at a high school identified by the
government as low socioeconomic in 2016,
asatthe time of application
or
experiencing financial hardship at the time
you apply for E12 (if so, you will need to
complete a UAC Educational Access Scheme
application as well as your E12 application).
This form of admission can be very competitive.

While transferring requirements vary between
faculties, you will generally be assessed on the basis
of the university results you obtain in your first year
of study, or your ATAR, depending on which gives
youa greater chance of admission.
Flexible Entry Scheme

Flexible entry looks at the whole you, not just your
ATAR. It takes into account your performance in
the Higher School Certificate (HSC) or International
Baccalaureate (IB) subjects relevant to your
preferred degree.
It means you may still receive an offer for a course
if you achieve an ATAR within five points of the
published ATAR cut-off.
Flexible entry is available for about 70 of our
undergraduate courses. In most cases its applied
automatically if youre eligible.
For a few other courses, such as Media and
Communications, Architecture or Engineering,
youneed to submit a separate application.

Costs
sydney.edu.au
Tuition fees
Fees for international students vary between
courses and are based on enrolment in actual units
of study for each semester, though this charging
structure is under review (see below) and may
change in the year you enrol.
Check the current fees for your specific course at:
Please note that all fees shown are:
quoted in Australian dollars
indicative fees for students commencing
in the stated year only
based on a full-time student enrolment load of 48

credit points per year, unless otherwise indicated
exclusive of the cost of textbooks,
other additional course costs, health
insurance or living expenses such as
food, accommodation and transport
exclusive of the Student Services and Amenities
fee (SSA fee) of up to $290, charged from
1January 2016 (indexed annually thereafter)
as an initiative to increase student support
and services in Australian universities.
sydney.edu.au/study/finances-fees-costs.html
Page 100
Annual review
Tuition fees are subject to annual review, and are
likely to increase each year of your period of study,
effective at the start of each calendar year.
When you are calculating the likely total cost of your
course, please factor in these price increases.
We anticipate that, from 2017, tuition fees will be

calculated based on a course tuition fee and your
enrolment load (number of credit points).
Your tuition fees will not be impacted by your choice
of units of study. For example, if you are enrolled
in a Combined Law program, your units of study in
Arts, Commerce or Law will be calculated at the
same rate.
Students will be given updated information once we
have finalised our implementation of this fee change.
Additional course-specific fees

For some courses there are incidental fees (in
addition to the tuition fees) to cover expenses
such as faculty-specific materials, tools, protective
clothing and equipment. Some of these fees may be
significant. For more information, see our website.
sydney.edu.au/study/getting-started/
before-you-arrive.html
Health insurance
International students on an Australian Student
Visa need to have appropriate health insurance for
the duration of their studies on that visa, obtained
through an approved provider of the Overseas
Student Health Cover (OSHC) scheme. This is a
requirement of the Australian Government, unless
otherwise exempted by the Government.

living-costs/health-insurance.html
Scholarships
Also note that if you extend your enrolment beyond

the normal course duration, either by repeating or
taking extra subjects, you will be required to pay
additional fees based onupdated fee levels.
A number of scholarships are available to

international students. Some are provided by the
University of Sydney and others by the Australian
Government. They may be available as faculty-based
or University-wide scholarships.
Important change to tuition fees
sydney.edu.au/study/finances-fees-costs/
scholarships.html
The University is currently in the process of reviewing

how tuition fees are calculated for full feepaying
places in undergraduate courses, applicable to
domestic and international students. Please note
that this change does not apply to Commonwealthsupported places for domestic students.
