The ATAR cut-off for most nursing degrees has become lower over the past five years, after a spike in 2021 and 2022. And that’s not all that has changed.
The ATAR cut-offs to enter some of the state’s most popular university courses including nursing, engineering and commerce degrees have declined over the past five years, an analysis of the 100 most in-demand degrees has found.
An analysis of the December lowest selection rank for the most popular 100 courses, determined by the number of first preferences through the University Admissions Centre, shows the adjusted ATARs required to enter nursing degrees were significantly lower for those who started university this year compared to five years prior.
At University of Technology Sydney – which conducts the state’s most popular nursing degree – the cut-off ATAR was 82.1 in 2019 but had fallen to 75 by 2023. He said there was a big spike in nursing popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic which may have now changed. All six teaching degrees in the top 100 courses increased their cut-off rank or remained steady, except primary education at the University of Sydney. It fell from 85 to 81.05, but remains the most competitive teaching degree on the list.
University of Newcastle deputy vice chancellor Professor Mark Hoffman said the lower ATAR nursing cut-off was a result of reduced demand.
