Reminder - UNSW Law Admission Test
Closes 13 August
The Law Admission Test (LAT) is a professionally designed and marked selection test developed to assess the types of aptitudes and skills that are critical to success in the Law program at UNSW Sydney.
UNSW Law & Justice has always been a destination of choice for students wanting to study Law. Demand is strong, places are limited and the ATAR can only tell us so much about applicants, so we introduced the LAT to assess the skills directly relevant to studying Law at UNSW. If you are a Domestic applicant and would like to study Law at UNSW, you will need to sit the LAT.
Your LAT score, in addition to your academic results (e.g. ATAR + adjustment factors), is used in our selection process to allow us to better differentiate between the many high-achieving applicants to Law.
