How do I apply?

 How you apply to study at UQ varies depending on whether you are:

 
An Australian (i.e. domestic) applying to study an undergraduate program 
An Australian (i.e. domestic) applying to study a postgraduate program 
An international person applying to study an undergraduate program 
An international person applying to study a postgraduate program
Admission requirements are determined by the University’s Policies and rules.  Once your application has been accepted and approved, you will receive an offer for a place at UQ.  If you decide to accept your offer, you will need to enrol by the due date. 

How do I know what I will be studying?

 All course information can be found in the Science Study Planners site.

I have completed courses elsewhere, can I get credit?

If you have completed studies at another institution or under another degree at The University of Queensland you may be eligible for credit.

Applications for credit may be applied for by letter or email to science.enquiries@uq.edu.au. Applications for credit from an external institution must be accompanied by a transcript and course descriptions.

I'm not sure what courses to enrol in?

 Academic Advising Sessions are available via appointment through the Academic Office to discuss enrolment and course selection issues with academic staff. Advisors are able to answer questions on a broad range of topics including course selection and structure, choice of field of study, credit for previous studies, prerequisite courses, academic withdrawal, and exchange and study abroad studies.

 
Although advising sessions are available throughout the year, during popular advising periods appointment times can become limited so it is recommended to book early in semester. Appointments may be made by phone on 3365 1888 or personally at the Faculty Office on level 3, Building 69.
 

I've been offered a place and accepted, now what?

After you have been offered a place at The University of Queensland, and have accepted this place following the instructions given in your offer letter, you will need to enrol.

New and continuing students, including undergraduate and postgraduate coursework and postgraduate research students, must enrol in each semester by the due date. Penalties may apply to late enrolment. You should enrol in both semesters at once if you intend to study for a full academic year.
For more information on other enrolment details visit myAdvisor or the UQ Enrolment Website.
We advise all new students to meet with an academic advisor to ensure you are undertaking the correct courses and paths to achieve your goals. After this meeting log into SI-net and enrol in the courses you agreed with your advisor.
