While you're at QUT, you'll be able to study a whole range of subjects (which we call units).
How many units can I study?
You must be enrolled full-time, which means you will need to study at least 3 units per semester (36 credit points).
Most QUT students study 4 units a semester (48 credit points), which is considered a standard load. Under special circumstances, you may be able to study 5 units in a semester (60 credit points).

Study abroad with EnglishWill I earn credit towards my degree?
You must make sure that your proposed units are approved by your own university. Approved study will let you transfer your academic credit to your degree at your home university.
Can I change units?
You can change units up to the end of the second week of semester.
If you want to change units:
- you must meet all the requirements for your new unit
- your home institution must approve the change.
Do I need to have completed prior study?
If a unit has prerequisites, you must demonstrate that you have the required knowledge to take the subject, based on your previous studies. You will need to supply detailed unit outlines (in English) of the subjects you have already completed at your home institution.
Some units have co-requisites, which means that there is another unit you need to study at the same time. If you want to study a unit with a co-requisite, you must also apply to study the related unit.
