If applying online isn't possible for you, contact our team at studyabroad@uq.edu.au.

Citizenship

If you hold dual citizenship, select the one you will use for your Australian visa application.

If your dual citizenship includes Australian or New Zealand citizenship:

for citizenship status: select 'International student'
for citizenship: select your other citizenship (not Australia or New Zealand).

Step 2: Start your application

Select 'Start an application'. Search for 'study abroad' or 'exchange' and select the relevant program.

If you’re unsure, read our advice on selecting your program.

Click 'Apply now'.

Step 3: Complete your application

Complete the application form and include any required documents. You can save your application and return to it later if needed.

In your application, you'll need to:

select the courses you want to study
upload a copy of your official university transcript
upload a copy of your passport or national ID card
provide proof of your English language proficiency (if required).

Upload documents as PDFs to reduce their file size.

Personal details

Make sure your name, gender and date of birth match your official government documentation.

(You can also provide a preferred name when you apply. If you're accepted to UQ you’ll be able to add or update your preferred name and gender later.)

Program of study

Select your preferred study option. Check the start date to ensure you select the correct intake semester for when you want to start at UQ.

Search for and select the courses you want to study.

Previous study

You only need to submit academic transcripts for non-UQ studies.

Transcripts should list:

all of the courses you studied
any degrees or diplomas you received and the date they were awarded.

If you have completed your studies and the transcript does not state your degree or diploma and the date it was awarded, you must also provide an award certificate or testamur.

If you have been:

nominated by your home university, your documents don't need to be certified. We can verify them with your institution
not nominated by your home university, you must provide a certified copy of each transcript. Transcripts can be certified by an approved UQ agent or other appropriate parties.

If your previous tertiary studies were in Australia or New Zealand, you may be able to share your transcripts online via My eQuals. Otherwise, upload documents as PDFs to reduce their file size.
