pages 16-19 to find your program. Alternatively,
you can refer to the index on page 93.
For more information about your chosen
program, visit study.uq.edu.au/study-options
and insert the program code in the search bar.
Use the step-by-step application
process to apply to UQ (see pages 82–83).
1
Choose your program
4
Apply for
your UQ program
Use the admissions section (pages 78–83)
to view definitions of ‘Minimum’ and
‘Higher-than-minimum’ English language
requirements and how to meet them,
subject prerequisite equivalents, and each
program’s minimum entry score.
If you do not qualify for entry to UQ you may be
able to upgrade through an academic or English
language pathway (see pages 21–25).
3
Check you qualify to
meet your program's
admission requirements
To gain entry into a UQ program you must
have 'Minimum' or 'Higher-than-minimum'
English language skills.
For undergraduate programs, you must
have attained an overall minimum entry
score in senior schooling equivalent to
Queensland Year 12, and satisfied other
academic entry requirements.
For most postgraduate programs you will need
a 'grade point average' (GPA) (or equivalent).
At UQ, we use a 7-point grading scale,
where 4 is a pass and 7 is the highest grade.
Admission requirements for programs can
be found within each program's description
(pages 26–73).
2
Check your program's
admission requirements
Consider
'doubling up'
A dual program, also called a double
degree, allows you to study 2 degrees
at the same time – often in a shorter
timeframe. Many programs also offer
the opportunity to focus on 2 areas
of study within the standard duration
of a program. Take a look at UQ’s dual
programs on page 17.
Add another dimension
to your degree
Add another dimension to your degree
by studying a concurrent Diploma in
Languages. You can study the diploma
alongside your degree and learn or
progress a second language (9 languages
available). The diploma is made up of 16
units and can be applied for after you
have enrolled in a full-time UQ program.
Enhance
your career
A UQ bachelor's degree is the solid
foundation for a successful career, but
to truly enhance your career prospects,
consider continuing to postgraduate
study after you graduate.
UQ offers postgraduate coursework
programs (graduate certificates,
graduate diplomas, coursework masters,
coursework masters [advanced] and
professional doctorates) and Higher
Degrees by Research (Master of
Philosophy [MPhil], Doctor of Philosophy
[PhD], and Doctor of Veterinary Clinical
Science) to equip you with specialist
knowledge, enhance your employability,
upgrade your qualifications, help you
get promoted, or pave the way for your
career in research.
You can find a description of each key term used in the programs section on the
‘UQ terminology’ page at the back of this guide (page 92).

START SEMESTER
The academic year at
UQ is divided into 2 main
semesters. Semester 1
usually starts at the end of
February and Semester 2
starts at the end of July.
The majority of programs
begin at the start of the
semester, and some only
have one start semester
per year; however, some
programs may have an
earlier or later start date or
begin in Summer Semester.
CAMPUS
One of 4 UQ teaching
sites located at St Lucia,
Herston, Gatton and
Dutton Park where
the majority of lectures
are held.
Some programs may be
delivered at UQ’s other
teaching sites.
HONOURS AVAILABLE
The majority of our
3-year bachelor's degrees
offer a one-year honours
program. Most 4- or
5-year programs include
the honours component.
This box shows whether
an honours year is
available as an extra year
of study.
DURATION
The time it takes to complete a
program when it is studied fulltime.
Full-time: The standard study load
is 8 units per semester.
Part-time: Part-time study load
is less than 75% of the standard
study load (i.e. less than 6 units
per semester for most programs).
International students can
only study part-time if they do
not require a student visa. All
international students on an
international student visa must
complete the program within the
stated program duration.
ACADEMIC PREREQUISITES
You must have completed
schooling equivalent to
Queensland Year 12 to gain
entry into a UQ program.
Some programs require
you to have completed
specific subjects (or their
equivalent) at school.
Some also have additional
requirements.
YOUR CURRENT
QUALIFICATION
Almost all postgraduate
coursework programs
require you to have
completed a specific
degree. Some also have
additional requirements.
DUAL PROGRAMS
AVAILABLE
Two UQ programs
undertaken at the same
time (sometimes known as
dual/parallel/combined/
double degrees).
This box shows if
a program is available as
a dual program. The dual
programs are listed in full
on page 17.
RELEVANT/SAME/
APPROVED DISCIPLINES
For some postgraduate
coursework programs
you must have studied
a particular discipline /
disciplines to obtain entry.
2025 FEE (YEAR 1)
Tuition fees vary according
to the program. We have
provided an indicative first
year tuition fee for each
program in this guide.
This indicative amount is
based on a standard fulltime study load (16 units)
for a calendar year for the
year of commencement.
QUOTA PROGRAM
A quota program is one that
has limited places available
for students, and entry is
usually competitive. Even
if you meet the minimum
entry requirements, there
is no guarantee you will be
confirmed as having a place
in the program.
APPLICATION CLOSING DATE
Standard application closing
dates for the majority of UQ
programs are as follows:
Semester 1
30 November of previous year
Semester 2
31 May of same year
If a program has an earlier or
different application closing
date than these standard
dates, you can find that
information in this section.
See program listing for
details and/or page 83 for
application information.
ENGLISH
All programs require either
‘Minimum’ or ‘Higherthan-minimum’ English
language proficiency.
‘Minimum’ English
language proficiency is
IELTS 6.5 with a 6 in each
sub-band (or equivalent).
‘Higher-than-minimum’
English language
proficiency varies
and is higher than
‘Minimum’ English.
See the fold-out and
page 80 for both a list of
programs with ‘Higherthan-minimum’ English
language proficiency
requirements and for
alternative ways to
meet ‘Minimum’ English
language proficiency
requirements.

The BE Standard finishes immediately before
the start of the UQ semester. Due to time

unique biodiversity. I wanted

learn about the conservation
issues here and the solutions
to address them. Studying
Wildlife Science is very
interesting and there are
lots of fieldwork elements
in our program. I enjoy
living in Gatton because
it is the total opposite of
home in Singapore. It is
peaceful here, with beautiful

“The 4 years that I spent at UQ were some of the best times of my life. It was nice
moving to Brisbane from Vancouver because they’re similar cities in a lot of ways:
they’re both surrounded by beautiful scenery and really lend themselves to outdoor
activities. Studying medicine at UQ has been a life-changing experience. I was lucky
enough to win the 2022 Queensland Junior Doctor of the Year Award, which was
surprising to be honest and I’m very humbled by it.”

Higher Degrees
by Research
Completing a Higher Degree by Research can advance your career opportunities,
satisfy your intellectual curiosity and position you as an expert in your field,
while providing you with opportunities to travel, network and explore.
What are UQ’s Higher Degrees by Research?
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
A PhD is one of the highest degrees that
can be awarded. It is seen as a requirement
for the majority of academic and research
positions in a wide range of fields and
industries. The aim of a PhD is to foster the
development of independent research skills.
Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
The MPhil is an internationally recognised
research degree that involves undertaking
a significant research project. It provides
candidates with an opportunity to develop
and enhance analytical and research skills
through independent investigation in a
specific field.
Doctor of Veterinary Clinical Science
The Doctor of Veterinary Clinical Science
is our veterinary residency program for
already qualified veterinarians. It is designed
to lead to careers as a certified specialist
veterinarian, provided you meet all
other requirements.
The doctorate will take you 3.5 years to
complete full-time. It combines advanced
coursework with clinical training and
a research-based 50,000-word thesis.
The doctorate is intended to introduce you
to all aspects of specialist practice.
Why do a Higher Degree by Research (HDR)?
As well as advancing your career opportunities and satisfying your intellectual curiosity, graduates from
HDR programs can typically secure academic or research careers within tertiary institutions, or a broad
range of professional and leadership roles within industry and government.

Research quarters
International HDR candidates at UQ enjoy
a significant advantage over students at
most other tertiary institutions with annual
tuition fees divided into quarters instead
of semesters. This reduces the pressure
to submit research prematurely due to
financial considerations. Research quarters
are designed to match HDR student
enrolment and work patterns, as well as
scholarship rounds. You are required to
commence your program within the first 2
weeks of a research quarter: January, April,
July or October.

A UQ research scholarship opened
doors for Rainie. In her second
year of study, she joined the
Queensland Brain Institute,
a leading neuroscience research
institute. For Rainie, having the
opportunity to apply her learnings
in a real lab alongside hundreds
of other researchers marked a
milestone in her study journey.
“I still can't believe how I
was able to be immersed in
real-world research at such a
young age while getting paid
to learn techniques, attend
conferences and publish papers.
My advice to other students is
to step out of your comfort zone
and take on new opportunities
as soon as possible. Once you
take that first step forward,
the growth will be unstoppable.”

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The admission requirements in this guide are for 2025 only.
Admission requirements are reviewed annually and may change without notice.
It is your responsibility to visit study.uq.edu.au for up-to-date information.
If you are unsure of what your GPA is, use the international qualifications
conversion tool on the right-hand side of your program's webpage on
study.uq.edu.au. Simply select your year of study, semester of commencement
and where your qualification is from to see your GPA equivalent. study.uq.edu.au
To be admitted into a UQ postgraduate coursework program you must have:
1 completed a previous qualification and/or professional experience
2 attained the required minimum grade point average (GPA)
3 attained the required level of English language requirements
4 met the other program-specific requirements (if applicable).
Admission requirements
1 A complete
previous
qualification
or professional
experience
The previous study you need to have completed will depend on the program you want to study.
For most programs, you'll need to have completed an approved degree equivalent to an
Australian bachelor's degree. However, for some programs we'll consider other relevant
experience, such as work experience.
For some programs, we'll only accept previous study in specific disciplines. This ensures you
have the required level of subject area knowledge to succeed in your program.
2 Attain the
minimum
grade point
average (GPA)
For some programs, you need to have achieved a minimum grade point average (GPA) in your
previous studies. Your GPA is a measure of academic performance based on the:
• grades you received
• number of units you completed in a degree.
We use a 7-point grading scale, where 4 is a pass and 7 is the highest grade. Different
institutions use many different grading scales and methods for calculating GPAs.
When you apply, we’ll calculate your GPA using the UQ grading scale. Any failing grades will
be included.
If your GPA is below the minimum requirement for your preferred program, you should
still consider applying. You may be eligible for an offer to a lower-level program in the
same discipline.
Meet the other
program-specific
4requirements
Some programs require specific work experience as well as academic qualifications.
Others have additional requirements such as an interview, aptitude test, referee reports or
professional registration.
Check the program's admission requirements for details: study.uq.edu.au
3 Attain the
required level
of English
All students need appropriate English language skills for admission to UQ. UQ programs have
either ‘Minimum’ or ‘Higher-than-minimum’ English language requirements.
There are many ways you may be able to meet English requirements, including previous study,
English language tests and work experience.
Please see pages 80–81 for all English language requirements.

You are an international student if you are:
• not a citizen of Australia or New Zealand
• not an Australian Permanent Resident, or

of Australia.
You are not an international student if
you are:
• an Australian citizen
• an Australian Permanent Resident
(visa status)
• a New Zealand citizen, or
• a holder of an Australian permanent
humanitarian visa.
Permanent residency
If you have been offered a place as an
international student and become an

Yearly costs
How much it will cost you to live in
Brisbane will depend partly on your
lifestyle preferences. From 1 October 2023,
the Australian Government Department of
Home Affairs announced that student visa
applicants will need to show they have a
minimum of $24,505 to cover the cost of
living for a year in Australia.
In addition to this amount, you'll also need to
consider establishment costs such as buying
furniture, paying a rental bond and setting up
electricity, gas and mobile phone accounts,
as well as other expenses such as visa and
medical fees, tuition fees, return airfares,
and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
Remember that exchange rate variations
may also affect your budget.
Monthly expenses
The table below estimates monthly expenses
for studying at UQ. These estimates are a
guide only and prices vary according to your
lifestyle. UQ tuition fees, textbooks and study
materials, clothing, entertainment, printing,
and healthcare costs are in addition to the
figures below.
Working while studying
If you have a student visa you can work up
to 48 hours per fortnight (2-week period)
during university semesters (effective 1 July
2023), and full-time hours during holidays.
In general, students shouldn’t expect to
cover tuition fees or living expenses with a
casual job.
If you're studying at UQ on a scholarship,
you should contact your scholarship provider
about how many hours you're permitted to
work each week.

a given academic year. Some programs
also have additional costs. Tuition fees are
reviewed annually.

whether as a paid employee or volunteer. You can apply for
one through the UQ School administering your program.
Blue card applicants undergo a complete national criminal
history check.
Campus
The location where a program is delivered. Some programs
are taught at locations other than UQ St Lucia or at more
than one campus.
Census date
The last date to cancel enrolment in a course without
incurring financial liability. Census dates are 31 March for
Semester 1, 31 August for Semester 2 and 18 December for
Summer Semester (although this may change). Intensive
study periods have individual census dates that change
each year according to the start date of the study period.
Compulsory courses
Courses that must be studied to complete the
requirements of a program.
Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
A CoE is issued when you accept a place at the University
and pay your deposit and Overseas Student Health Cover
(OSHC), if applicable, and you need to apply for a student
visa. A CoE will only be issued for a quota program if there
is still a place available at the time you accept and pay your
deposit / OSHC.
Course
A discrete component of study within a program for which
a grade is given.
Course profile
A course profile gives you key information about a course,

textbooks, learning activities, assessment information and
due dates, and other important information.
Coursework program
A program where the assessable content by research
represents less than two-thirds of the total assessable
content for the program. Bachelor’s degrees, associate
degrees and postgraduate coursework programs are all
categorised as coursework programs.
Commencement
Semester 1 in Australia generally begins in late February,
and Semester 2 in late July, but some programs may start
earlier. Check each program for details.
Credit
1. Students receive credit towards a degree when they pass
a course that is part of the program requirements.
2. Students changing programs within UQ or from another
university may apply for credit (a value assigned for study
completed in one program) towards the new program. See
Credit transfer.
Credit transfer (or transfer credit)

Also called work placement, internship, industry study,
clinical practice, practicum, fieldwork, clinical placement,
practical work, teaching practice or industry experience.
This is a period of practical, work-related experience
designed to enable you to practise professional skills in
a real-life setting, usually at an organisation external to
the University.
Postgraduate coursework programs
Postgraduate coursework programs involve at least
two-thirds of coursework. Study options include a
graduate certificate, graduate diploma, coursework
master’s, and professional doctorate.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites are minimum entry requirements for
admission to a program. They are intended to ensure that
everyone entering a program has studied and achieved an
appropriate level of knowledge in subject areas necessary
to undertake the program successfully. Applicants who
satisfy the prerequisite requirements are then eligible to
compete for a place on the basis of the selection rank
allocated to their qualifications.
Program
A sequence of study leading to the award of a qualification
such as a degree, diploma, certificate or higher degree
by research.
Quota program
Some programs have limited places available. The quota is
the number of places that are available. For international
students, the issuing of a Confirmation of Enrolment
(CoE) for a quota program confirms that you have a place
in that program.
School
At UQ, a school is a sub-division of a faculty – in other
words, a faculty is a collection of schools. The school
that teaches a course is listed on each course’s electronic
course profile (ECP) as the ‘Coordinating Unit’.

The University teaching year is divided into 3 semesters:
Semester 1, Semester 2 and Summer Semester.
Most programs only require you to be enrolled in
Semesters 1 and 2 each year.

and specialisations.
Teaching methods
At UQ we use a range of teaching methods, including
lectures, tutorials, laboratory practicals, fieldwork,
group discussions, and online modules and workshops.
You will be required to complete assignments and
examinations, and undertake independent study. Debate in
classrooms is strongly encouraged.
Teaching spaces
Ranging from large, tiered lecture theatres to small
tutorial rooms and specialised laboratories, we offer
flexible spaces for group work, teaching and printing.
All UQ lecture theatres and most tutorial rooms have
Echo 360 installed so that teaching sessions can be
recorded and accessed online.
Tertiary pathway
If you are not offered a place in your preferred program,
you can accept an offer in a program with lower entry
requirements, improve your entry score after completing
your first year of full-time study, and then apply to change
into your preferred program.
Units
Units (#) represent the value of individual courses that
contribute to the total unit requirement of an academic
program. Most courses at UQ are worth 2 units and a
standard study load is 8 units per semester.
