Why QUT?

[Print-friendly version]

Why wait until next year to start studying? QUT has a number of courses available for mid-year entry.

Start QUT mid year. And kickstart your career. Hear from real students right here.

Why start QUT mid year?

"The sooner you start, the sooner you finish… Now that I’ve done it, I’m so glad and I’ve learned so much already even though it’s only my first semester"

You don’t have to wait until 2010 to start study at QUT. Start study mid year, and finish your degree six months sooner. And be ready to make your mark on the real world.

Talk about your options.

"A lot of people I know think universities take students through at the start of the year. And if then they realise they want to do study around March of that year, want to go back to uni, you don’t have to wait until the end of the year. There’s always that mid year option available as well. If you’re considering coming back consider your options, there’s a tonne of information available. Just give them a ring."

More Options.

"You’re not wasting your time waiting around for the brand new year to start, you can start halfway through."

If you're worried about your workload, you can take your time. Complete as little as one subject per semester.

If you'd like to get through your course more quickly, you may need to complete a subject over the Christmas - New Year period.

Courses to get you ahead in life. Not get in the way of it.

"The flexible timetable we have is very good. If you’re able to come to uni at night time, and libraries are open until 10 o’clock and there are some computer rooms that are 24 hours. Lecturers are very helpful. Tutors are very good."

Many QUT courses allow for flexibilty when it comes to choosing when, where and how you study.

Depending on your course, you may be able to attend classes in the evening, fast-track your study over the summer semester or complete one unit at a time.

We deliver many course materials online. Teaching websites and online databases mean you're not tied to campus. Chat groups allow for valuable group interaction from wherever you are.

Ahead of the pack.

"It’s a great opportunity for you just to get in there and go for it straight away."

You’ll beat the end-of-year crowds, so there’ll be less competition for the most highly prized jobs when you finish studying.
