Queensland University of Technology Information


The end of the year is in sight. Year 12 students might need reminding about applying for scholarships, the Educational Access Scheme, or elite athlete or Indigenous Australian entry programs before they finish school. Please get in touch if you have any questions. We’re here to help.
Year 11 students can apply to study QUT units in Year 12 through the START QUT program. Applications close 31 October. Students will hear of their outcome by the end of November. Orientation sessions will be held at QUT in January.
Bridging courses in chemistry, physics and maths B are offered through QUT's Continuing Professional Education unit. Students can register now for the maths B daytime summer semester classes commencing on 17 November, or for maths B or chemistry bridging classes in Semester 1, 2015. The physics bridging course is an online course and is also open for registration.
Many students move to Brisbane to study at QUT. To ensure a smooth transition, it helps to start planning early. There are different types of student accommodation available, and QUT has an accommodation database and information service to help.
QUT has introduced two new double degrees available for entry in Semester 1, 2015—biomedical science with business and biomedical science with law.
Students considering university should apply early for a tax file number (TFN), even if they are not currently working. They will need to supply their TFN if they choose to defer their fee payment through HECS-HELP (to pay later through the tax system) and applications can take up to 28 days to process.
QUT offers education programs across STEM and visual arts to introduce students to the university environment and engage them with contemporary art and research-inspired projects across science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Teachers are encouraged to sign up to receive our eNews for educators.
