Increased numbers and extra courses at University of Newcastle
THE University of Newcastle is offering more places for undergraduates in 2010, but the extra spots have pushed down entrance scores across the board.
At the release of the main round of university offers yesterday, about two-thirds of entrance scores had gone down by between 0.15 and 11.05 points.
It was mostly a result of an extra 630 main-round offers made by the university in what was the first year of the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR).
In the other courses, demand pushed marks up between 0.4 and 10.85 points.
