Stacey Jackson used the QUT START program to help with the transition from Year 12 to university.real experiences

I attended all the career expos and talked with lots of people. But my choice was made much easier after I had completed the START QUT program, which helped with the transition between high school and university.

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
