I have literally never in my life written something that has organically been below the word limit, I am forever in a perpetual state of trying to cut down my writing and I’m being so serious when I say that I swear I’m not rambling- and every time I get the godforsaken “would have liked more detail” comment in my feedback I literally want to rip my hair out I can’t take it anymore and why are the QUT word limits so insanely small for what they ask of you- I’m done.

Edit: I’m in secondary education
- managed to get it down to 960 from 1200, my goal is 660
- down to 780 😭
- guys I did it 🎉

I got invited to apply for QUT’s Year 12 Early Offer Scheme
but I’m worried my grades are too low for Group 2. pls let me know

Hey all, just a bit confused about the parking rates situation (I promise I’ve done my research but I think I’m just not getting it.)

I got here just at 4:30 pm, and I’m not too sure when I’m leaving, but I may be here till midnight.

How much will this inevitably cost? I’m a QUT card holder as well. Does that mean I will get student rates?

I’m thinking of going on exchange next year, probably in Semester 2. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best places to go (I’m mainly considering Europe, especially Germany). I’d also like to know how difficult it is to get approved and whether there’s a minimum GPA requirement.

Hii
I am an International student from India. I will be joining master of nursing entry to practice at QUT in feb 2027. If there are any future students like me I would love connect with them before reaching Australia.

I'm currently in yr 12 and want to study law and commerce but I'm not sure which uni is best/ would be the right fit. I was wondering if anyone had insight into the student support and networking opportunities, and if this has helped you get jobs/ internships? I’ve also seen that QUT has extra credentials compared to UQ, like the practical legal training and triple crown accreditation - has anyone felt a noticeable difference in job applications? I would also appreciate any insight to anything you noticed between qut vs other Brisbane unis because of this

My other options would be uq or Bond university (I have early entry and scholarships) but I would love any advice!

I submitted a 2-day extension application a couple of days ago due to a medical condition but I was just told it was flagged as being inauthentic and I have no idea why? I'm freaking out a bit because I don't really know what to expect or any reason it could be flagged, does anyone have a similar experience?

Hi all
I’m yea 12 student graduating soon
And hopefully I get admission in QUT
What’re your suggestions on what to on first days or before uni starts that makes it easy to manage in Uni :3

Hey all, currently studying for the CSH600 exam? Has anyone done it and has any tips. Heard that the exam is actually pretty difficult and mostly from the readings, is it true?

I am trying to study for the upcoming ABB122 exam but I am completely lost on where to start. Is the best thing to do just go through all of the lecture and tutorial slides? I feel like there arent many revision resources available for this one.

Hey guys,

Not gonna write the full name of the degree, but I’m doing psych, 2nd semester. Is anyone struggling to stay on task? Because I am, especially with nearly 2 weeks till exams start.

Even if it isn’t the same degree, I’d really like to have someone as accountability while we both study.

Mutual location would obviously be either campuses (I’m all at KG though).

Please let me know if you’re interested!

I’m actually so done with group assignments! why is it that people actually cannot do the fkn work in time or they just make it 1000% more difficult for everyone else!!! I understand people have work and what not but come on, i’m currently waiting on 1 person to complete their section on an assignment due tonight and it’s just so infuriating when everyone else have completed theirs in a reasonable time. But they somehow blame everything else but themselves for the work being done like COME ON BRO.

sorry for the rant but i’m so over it, which there was an option to do it individually instead of having to deal with incompetent people and their AI garbage 😩

Just some context, i am one of those people that can not live with a 60hz monitor, IE: the monitors at the library are unusable to me, so the obvious choice would be to go home and work or go to the esports arena but the arena does not allow you to download a remote desktop software as it is pretty strict and barebones (for good reason), my question is there anywhere on campus where you can study with a better monitor ?, im posting this in hopes of finding something but not expecting much, would really appreciate your guy's suggestions eitherway

For the past week I’ve been looking into the majors and units QUT offers, but I couldn’t decide which major in creative arts I should take (animation or visual arts). My hobby is drawing digitally, however I only draw in an anime artstyle, so I’m worried if my artstyle will make it difficult to pair with.

I’ve read that visual arts leans more into contemporary art, so I feel like that will be a drawback for me, but then there is animation, which leans more into 3D. I particularly enjoy drawing digitally because my preference for that anime artstyle keeps me motivated, and I don’t know if I’ll keep up doing something that won’t be an enjoyable experience for something that I’ll be putting a lot of time and money into.

I’ve thought about how with the 3D modelling aspect, I can bypass it by designing it into a style I prefer, but I’m not sure if that’s allowed.

If anyone does this major, can you tell me about your experiences? I am planning to change around my preference list soon, and I want to know if something like an anime artstyle is allowed

Anyone signed up for the VRES research programme? and if you do have you receive your offer yet? like around 1 week away from the deadline of accepting offer but I haven't heard back at all.

Taking these in the summer, anything I should know before taking these? How was the experience, difficulty, any advice? If you have taken these during the semester or summer please let me know.

Thanks in advance

looking to do the course during the summer and i wanted to start early. any past students done this have an idea of the course structure and other relevant stuff to help kickstart studying?

Hey everyone!

I'm heading into my final year of Civil Engineering in 2027 and will be undertaking EGH490-1 and EGH490-2.

I'd love to hear about everyone's experiences with these units, particularly any advice or things you wish you'd known before starting!

I'm keen to make the most of my final year, so any insights, experiences or general advice would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

The explanation on the website is super confusing if anyone willing to help me please let me know, I currently already enrolled in these;provided image and (haven’t put preference in classes yet) I’m not sure if it’s the right classes or things to be enroll

I’m an international student planning to study Clinical Exercise Physiology in Australia in 2027. I’ve received offers from QUT, Griffith and UNSW, and I’m finding it difficult to decide which university to choose.
I’d love to hear your experiences and opinions on the quality of teaching, clinical placements, ESSA accreditation, job opportunities after graduation, and how well each university prepares students for a career as an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.
If you’re currently studying at any of these universities, have graduated, or work in this field, I’d really appreciate your honest advice. Which university would you recommend, and why? Any insights into placement opportunities and career prospects would be greatly appreciated.

Does anybody actually attend the lectures and tutorials for QUT You subjects?? They massively interfere with my work schedule so I'm hoping that I can just not attend them... thoughts? Can I still pass those subjects without attendance?

Hi everyone!

I'm currently in my second semester of a Masters program at UQ, and I'm planning to take BIOX7008 (Major Research Project & Seminar), which is an 8-unit course, during Summer Semester 2026.

The course is officially listed as being offered during summer, and I've already secured a research project and obtained the required signatures from my supervisor and examiner.

However, I noticed that:

1. UQ normally allows a maximum of 6 units during the Summer Semester, and special approval is required to exceed this.
2. BIOX7008 is listed on the official UQ course website for Summer 2026, but it's missing from the SCMB Student Hub application dropdown.

I've already emailed SCMB and the Faculty of Science regarding this, but I'm waiting for their responses.

Has anyone here previously completed BIOX7008 or another 8-unit research course during summer?

If so, did you need special approval from the Associate Dean (Academic)? Was it difficult to get approved?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar. Thanks!

Hey guys, it’s me again. As a Communication student coming to her 2nd year, I’m a bit lost when choosing complementary units.

As said, I’m studying Communication, majoring in Promotional Communication (which is Comms with some Design units). I enjoy Design and was thinking of doing Game Design as my second major. However, I’m a bit concerned about my skills in coding (I have no experience in this) and my future career.

So what would you recommend I should choose for my 2nd major or complementary studies?

While the unit is listed as internal, the “learning approaches” section says that there is participation in online interactive lectures, with workshops “some” weeks. I was wondering if anyone who’s taken this unit recently can let me know whether the lectures are delivered online or in person, and how often the workshops are? Wondering how much I can do from home

thanks in advance!
