Tips for completing your QTAC application

You can list up to six preferences on your QTAC application. Nominating a program in all six places will give you the best possible opportunity of receiving an offer to study at university.

If you'd particularly like to study at UQ, we recommend that you allocate all six preferences to UQ programs (degrees). The table below details QTAC’s recommendations for ordering preferences:

Course (Program) Preference
1st
2nd
Ideal Courses
These are the courses you would really like to study even though your chances of gaining entry may not be assured.
3rd
4th
Realistic Courses
These courses are less competitive.  Realistically, they should provide another way to the career you want or to a second choice career.  They can be used to upgrade to your 'ideal' course.
5th
6th
Foot-in-the-Door Courses
These courses are the ones you are prepared to do if you miss out on all the others.  They should be courses that in the past have been quite easy to get into (especially the 6th preference).  They can help you upgrade.
 
You can now apply for programs commencing in semester 1 and semester 2 on the one QTAC application. When listing your preferences you will need to note the start month you wish commence the program. Please note that you can apply for the same program with different start months, however each start month you nominate for a given program will be counted as a separate preference.
 
Friday 30 September, 2011 is the due date for on-time applications to QTAC. You can still lodge your QTAC application after this date, however your application may not be included in the first offer round. Please see the QTAC website for more information on key dates for QTAC applications.
