What you'll need to know
The BIT is a highly competitive course – it’s been designed with future leaders in mind. To get in, you’ll need to demonstrate how you stand out from the crowd.
You’ll be assessed on these key criteria:
- Your written application form
- An interview with industry and UTS representatives
- Your Selection Rank
Successful students generally achieve a Selection Rank of 88–99.95; however, your ATAR is just one component of your application.
The interview is your chance to show us your passion for technology. We also want to see your communication and interpersonal skills and your desire to be a leader in your field. We balance our selection criteria against one another. So if you’ve got a lower ATAR (say, 85 or 86), wow us in the interview and you could still be in with a chance.
