Looking to move out bcs my family is tin foil coocoo crazy and the commute is pretty long and I work casually… but if I were to rent id barely save any money for anything else it seems, unless I were to work a lot more in which case I wouldn’t have time to study.

I’m 19, so under Centrelink im still a dependent and my parents earn too much so id get like maybe $10 a fortnight. I was lodging my dads parental means test today and I just kind of gave up because whats the point

Is everyone’s parents like mining oligarchs bankrolling them seriously how is anyone doing this??? Why is a shared room in a shitty sharehouse in st lucia $180 a week

Hi! Keeping it short but I have a discretionary extension left this semester and wanted to use it. However, the assessment I want to use it on is a weekly in-person task (reflection). Does anyone know, or have experience, using a discretionary extension this way? I know that the discretionary lets you extend by 48 hours but I'm not sure if I'll be able to use it in this situation since the assessment happens weekly. The ideal situation is that it lets me extend, and I can do the reflection in Week 13 instead of Week 12. Have already sent the course coordinator an email so hopefully they'll get back to me soon lol but if anybody has encountered this before let me know!!!

ive seen a fellow student have all their exams deferred and used a med certificate so im wondering do people actually get updoc certs to defer exams even if they're not...ahem...sick?

Does anyone have any experience taking political science, international relations, or sociology at uq. Currently torn on whether I should switch majors from IR to Extended Political Science, or switch my other major (history) to sociology. I'm wanting a major more focused on policy writing.

Thanks so much!

I’m considering applying for the Master of Quantum Technology at UQ, but Ive noticed there’s not much discussion about this program ，I’d love to hear from anyone who’s currently studying it or has already graduated.

I wonder how’s the course experience, and how well does the program prepare you for a PhD? Is it a good pathway for students interested in research?Thanks guys！

What is going on in the men’s bathroom’s , I’ve never once wanted to post or respond to anything but it’s getting ridiculous. Like I feel as though you should have to start swiping your student id card to use them.

People are genuinely just trying to make them unusable to the point where you can smell them outside the bathrooms. Like is there something going on here. Is it the schools students unable to use them properly now following grow library.

I feel like I’m going crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣

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!

2nd year at UniMelb here. Info about uni is scattered everywhere, so every time I had to dig through a bunch of different sites, and Rate My Professors barely covers Australia. So I built this: uq.talkwalll.com (also an app: TalkWall)

It’s collected 380+ events and 12,000+ reviews so far, rated course/professor on usefulness, difficulty and whether people would take it again. You can also filter events by your major or interests, so you only see the ones that matter to you.

It’s free, with no ads, and I made auto translate so international students can be part of the community as well.

What libraries on campus are not open to the public?

apologies to anyone who got second hand listening to rant to friends as I had a little stress breakdown. or enjoy it? for the drama enjoyers

Moving from an Australian MBBS to UQ MD — any options if happy to restart?

Hi everyone, I already have a completed bachelor's degree and am currently studying an MBBS at an Australian university. I'm exploring whether it would be possible to move to UQ's MD after completing second year.

I need to relocate to Brisbane for personal reasons. I'd be happy to start the MD from the beginning, so getting credit for my previous medical studies isn't essential.

Has anyone here made a similar move, or knows someone who has? I'm particularly wondering whether UQ would consider a transfer or admission on compassionate grounds in this situation, or whether I'd need to go through the usual graduate-entry application process, including GAMSAT.

Does already having a degree and two years of medical study make any difference to the available pathways, especially if I'm willing to restart?

I'd appreciate any firsthand experiences or suggestions about which team at UQ handles these enquiries. Keeping some details general for privacy, but happy to clarify anything relevant. Thanks!

is anybody doing EDUC3606 this semester and also thinks the course is horribly structured and the staff are useless (for a lack of a better word)? everyone i've spoken to have been struggling so hard, and any time we ask the staff for help they are so incredibly condescending, and their replies don't even answer our questions😭

这个学期四亩了

I may or may not have accidentally put it in my hair this morning 😭now I am stuck on campus for 9 hrs

(No I am not stupid I promise <3)

Hey all, I’m an MPhil candidate at Bond and looking to do UQ medicine. I’m also an international student (American) and would like to try for the Oschner MD-PhD program.
I completed my BBmedSc with a 3.97 GPA (cumulative 89), So I believe this scales to a 7.0? My MCAT was only 509-511.

I have to make it past international UQ admissions for 2028 intake. I know the average MCAT score of UQ students is 509 but I’m so worried my MCAT won’t be competitive enough. Are there any other international UQ MD students who have advice for me?

Hi,
I feel like I stumbled upon a gold mine on Roblox of all places.

It’s called anatomy 3D by marclutter_5 .
It is amazing, it seems fairly accurate too and better than programs that I’ve payed $100s for. It even shows movement and tests. Omg guys there’s pin tests.

I hope anyone doing an anatomy course this semester or next takes advantage of this program. It’s genuinely one of the better anatomy programs and it’s free and on Roblox??

Good luck all my med/premed/crazy people who think anatomy’s fun

why do men go for women? its like a waste of time for us men we should just forget about women?

currently starting an assignment due on monday, have not started studying for exams,,, feeling a bit cooked✊ but more importantly, have we got our saturween costumes ready
normalise being more concerned with halloweekend then locking in

So.. I didn’t got an offer(well I am thanking that I didn’t got a rejection email).

I heard that 1st round is at mid Oct, and 2nd round is at Dec.

Now do I have to wait till Dec..??

(fr though I am not complaining, it's nice to not be a perpetual sauna)

Im an international Student.

So I applied to both UQ and QUT for the bachelor of engineering(Mechanical) , I got my full offer to QUT with a 25% scholarship and UQ on the other hand I got my conditional offer letter and haven't been offered any scholarship of any sort.

The conditions for the UQ offer letter were, get the minimum gpa of 10.5 which I have 13 for and an IELTS score of 6.5 which I got 8.5 for. I submitted my IELTS to UQ as well as my Edexcel IAL Candidate statement of provincial results (CSPR). They accepted the CSPR but want me to basically pay edexcel 34 pounds for a service which sends the CSPR directly to them via email.

Before I do pay the 34 pounds I wanted to know, is the chances of me getting a 25% scholarship to UQ good or bad. I also wanted to know is there a significant difference and advantages of going to UQ over QUT.

My goal is to somehow enter the mining industry by following a career in mechanical engineering rather than mining engineering.

Thank You in Advance.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently on the waitlist for UQ Res, and my waitlist number is somewhere in the 1000s.

I’m really hoping to get a place at Walcott St for the February 2027 intake. I’ve found a few people offering lease transfers, but they’re all looking to move out in November, which is too early for me.

I was wondering if I realistically have a chance of getting a room through the normal application/waitlist process without taking over someone’s lease.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or managed to get into Walcott St with such a high waitlist number? Any advice or experiences would be really appreciated!

Thanks!
