English subject prerequisite
The most common prerequisite
is English (Units 3 & 4, C). This means a student must study a General
English subject and achieve a grade of C or higher in Units 3 & 4.We have had many enquiries about which English subjects in the new QCE system will meet the English prerequisite for tertiary courses in 2021. Almost all institutions requiring an English prerequisite for a course will accept any of the four general English subjects on offer. General English subjects are English, English as an Additional Language, Literature, and English & Literature Extension.

Relevant education courses now list the science prerequisite as General science subject.
General science subjects that will meet this prerequisite for all Queensland institutions are: Agricultural Science, Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Environmental Science, Marine Science, Physics and Psychology.
Vocational Education and training (VET) Entry Pathways
There have been discussions about how VET qualifications will be considered by institutions courses commencing in 2021.
Institution policies are currently being presented to Principals and at the completion of the state-wide information sessions held with QCAA, we will be releasing this information on our website.
