Step 2 - Satisfy entry requirements

Applicants may be admitted to an undergraduate program based on various qualifications including:

• Applicants who have completed Year 12 at a Queensland secondary school or its equivalent
• Applicants who have completed or partially completed tertiary level studies
• Applicants without any formal academic qualifications, who can demonstrate the capacity to undertake tertiary study on the basis of the following:
     

  • Professional and postsecondary qualifications
  • Employment experience
  • Personal Competencies Assessment (PCA)
  • Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT)

Applicants will be considered on eligibility and merit:

• Eligibility - You must firstly satisfy the minimum entry requirements (eg prior study, folio, audition, English language proficiency, subject pre-requisites). If these are not met, your application is not considered any further and QTAC provides feedback via the Online Applicant Service on whether you have met these entry requirements.
    
• Merit - Once the minimum entry requirements are satisfied, then places are offered on the basis of your QTAC selection rank, or Overall Position. Offers are made to applicants in descending rank order until all places are filled. 

Admission Requirements

Regardless of your entry qualifications, admission into a USQ program requires applicants to satisfy minimum entry requirements including:

Year 12 subject pre-requisites

Year 12 subject pre-requisites exist for most undergraduate programs at USQ. If you do not have Year 12 qualifications these pre-requisite requirements may be met in a variety of ways and contact us for further information.

Auditions

Applicants for places in some programs, eg Bachelors of Creative Arts, may be required to attend an audition, an interview, or submit a folio of work and further information can be obtained from the Faculty of Arts.

Further information

Individual program admission requirements can be found in the USQ Handbook. Applicants are also encouraged to view the QTAC Tertiary Courses guide that lists the prerequisites and provides an idea of the OP/rank required to be given an offer.
