International Baccalaureate studies
If you have completed an International Baccalaureate Diploma, you can apply for academic credit towards a range of our undergraduate science and engineering degree programs.
You can receive credit up to the equivalent of a full-time semester of university study (4 units) towards your degree, depending on the structure of the degree program.
You'll need to apply for credit after you've received an offer and enrolled at QUT.
