Important - applying for a place at QUT

In addition to completing the application form and supplying the supporting documentation, you must apply for and be granted admission into an internal undergraduate degree at QUT for Semester 1, 2021. You will need to meet the minimum entry requirements for your desired course including the English language requirement.

If you are completing or have completed an Australian year 12 program in 2020 you should submit an application for admission to an undergraduate degree at QUT through QTAC. If you are having difficulty paying the application fee, please contact the Equity Scholarships team.
