Queensland University of Technology - Changes to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) selection rank schemes

For students currently in Year 10, there are changes to how VET in schools qualifications will be assessed for university entry. The following information has been received from QUT.

QUT supports the inclusion of a VET qualification in the calculation of a Queensland ATAR. We will also assess an eligible VET in schools (VETiS) qualification independently for admission where the school leaver has obtained an ATAR.

For entry to QUT from 2021:

  • An ATAR or a complete International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBD) will be an essential criteria for school-leaver entry to QUT.
  • School leavers who obtain an ATAR will be assessed on their ATAR and, if they have completed an eligible VETiS qualification at school, then that VETiS qualification can also be assessed for entry independently.
  • School leavers who pursue only a VETiS qualification as a secondary school outcome will not be eligible for entry to QUT on the basis of their completed VETiS qualification alone for a period of two years following their secondary studies.
  • School leavers with neither an ATAR nor a VETiS qualification (ATAR-ineligible applicants) will not be eligible for entry to QUT.
  • Performing arts qualifications will not be assessed for admission for any applicant.
See the website for more information about entry in 2021. If you have questions, contact QUT Admissions on qut.applications@qut.edu.au

Students who are in Year 10 and plan to study at QUT need to choose the correct assumed knowledge or prerequisite subjects. Check the subjects for entry in 2021 and beyond.
