SHORT-TERMSTUDY
UQ offers short-term study options
for those not currently enrolled in a
university program. Students can fill
the “gap year” between high school
and university, and professionals can
enhance their educational qualifications.
Under this scheme, you do not receive
a degree from UQ, but may gain credit
towards future university studies in a full
degree program.
Broad study areas available include arts
(humanities), sciences, social sciences and
business. You can study a maximum of
four courses per semester and receive an
academic transcript after completing your
semester or year of study.
You must meet program entry
requirements and will be made an offer
based on one semester or one year of study
in that program. The final choice of courses
is subject to approval by relevant faculties.
