Laura Parker  found START QUT helped her better prepare for university study.real experiences

I participated in the START QUT program during Year 12 to better prepare for university in the following year. Completing two business units confirmed my career choice and gave me guaranteed entry into my business course.

START QUT is an opportunity for high-achieving students to experience university and extend their studies in year 12. Students study one or two university subjects in the same classes as current QUT students and are awarded a scholarship to cover the cost of their tuition fees.

Benefits

  • Year 12 students study university units in the same classes as current QUT students, and at the same time improve their preparation for university.
  • Allows students who pass two units (grade of 4 or above, 7 being the highest) to gain admission to selected QUT courses and start studies in Semester 1, following completion of Year 12.
  • Successful START QUT students may receive academic credit for up to two units (24 credit points) towards an entry course for related units, which has the potential to reduce future debt.
  • Successful START QUT students may also be eligible for up to 4 credit points towards their Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE).

Further information

Students apply during Year 11 to undertake studies while in Year 12. Applications for students undertaking Year 12 in 2011 will open on 2 August 2010 and close on 31 October 2010. Please note that late applications will not be accepted. The application form can be downloaded from this website once applications open.
