UNSW INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLICANTS

These instructions , published as a .pdf reference document that is searchable using bookmarks and/or the contents page, provides question by question DP10 advice. The document replaces the former UNSW 'step by step' guide.

We encourage you to refer to this reference document at any time you need advice on how to respond to a DP10 question AND when you need basic technical tips for completing the question in GAMS. The contents page lists and links to advice on all questions on the DP10 form so that you can simply 'click through' to the relevant information.
