    Requirements for University of Queensland in Australia

    To be considered for an offer to a program, you'll need to meet all the entry requirements.
    Check the program page and select your qualification for specific entry requirements.
    For all our programs, you need to:

    • complete a qualification accepted by UQ – Queensland Year 12 or an equivalent qualification
    • achieve the minimum entry score
    • satisfy any subject prerequisites
    • meet the English language requirements
    • successfully complete any program-specific application requirements.

    Some programs have a quota, which means there are limited places available. As entry is competitive, meeting the minimum entry requirements for these programs does not guarantee admission. For programs without a quota, UQ offers places to all applicants who meet the program's minimum entry requirements.

    Some programs also have inherent requirements that you must meet to be able to graduate.

    Qualification

    To be offered a place in an undergraduate program, you need to have successfully completed Queensland Year 12, or a qualification equivalent to Queensland Year 12, with the required minimum entry score for the program you're interested in studying.

    You may also be considered if you have studied a diploma, advanced diploma, or a year or more of tertiary study. 

    Minimum entry score

    A minimum entry score is the lowest score you need to achieve to be considered for a place in a program.

    This score is displayed in different ways, depending on the studies you have completed:

    Australian Year 12, International Baccalaureate or New Zealand NCEA studies

    You must achieve the required ATAR score, Queensland rank or IB score for your preferred UQ program if you are currently studying:

    • Australian Year 12 (or equivalent)
    • International Baccalaureate, or
    • National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) Level 3 in New Zealand.

    International studies equivalent to Australian Year 12

    If you're currently completing your senior schooling overseas, you must achieve the equivalent of the required entry score for your preferred UQ program.

    Non-school leavers

    If you’re not a current school leaver, we’ll assess your application based on any study you have completed since finishing high school. 

    Prerequisites

    Some undergraduate programs have subject prerequisites – specific subjects you must have studied to gain admission. Prerequisites help ensure that you have an appropriate level of subject area knowledge when you start the program.

    Subject prerequisites are listed as Queensland Year 12 General subjects, but you may be able to meet them if you've studied equivalent subjects at an interstate or overseas high school, at university or through a bridging program.

    Some programs also have recommended knowledge areas. These aren't compulsory, but we recommend them to ensure you're in the best possible position to understand program material.

    If you’re not currently studying Year 12 (or equivalent), your application will be assessed to determine whether you have met the required prerequisites.

    English language requirements

    All applicants have to meet our English language requirements. For most programs, you’ll need to meet the minimum requirements, but some programs have higher requirements.

    There are many ways you can meet English requirements, including previous study, English language tests and work experience.
