Submit your application

If you're not currently completing senior schooling from Australia (Year 12 or International Baccalaureate), submit an application directly to UQ.

You can complete the application yourself or apply through an approved UQ agent near you. Applicants from certain countries must apply through an agent – our online application system will let you know if you need to do this.

We recommend applying early. We can consider applications up to 2 years in advance, and some programs have limited places. You must leave enough time for UQ to process your application and issue an offer, and for you to organise your student visa. 

Step 1: Create an account

Create an account in UQ Online Applications.

If you can't access UQ Online Applications, email applicationstatus@uq.edu.au to request a hard-copy form. We charge a non-refundable fee of A$150 if you use a hard-copy form.

Step 2: Complete your application

Complete all details on the application form and include all required documents. You can save an incomplete form and return later.

On your application, let us know if:

• you would like to apply for an English language pathway package
• you want to arrange your Overseas Student Health Cover through UQ.

You will need to provide:

• a complete academic transcript and/or testamurs for any non-UQ studies
• a copy of your passport or national ID card
• evidence that you meet our English language requirements.

Upload documents as PDFs to reduce their file size.

Step 3: Submit your application

When you're satisfied your application is complete, submit it.

You'll need to pay a A$150 fee for each application you submit. This fee can't be refunded.

Closing dates

Make sure you submit your application by the closing date:

• Semester 1: 30 November of the previous year
• Semester 2: 31 May of the same year.

Some programs have different closing dates – these will be listed on the program page.

We may consider late applications, but this can't be guaranteed.

UQ College courses

For all UQ College English courses, including the Bridging English (BE) program, the deadline to apply, accept your offer and pay tuition fees, is 4 weeks before the course start date. UQ College cannot guarantee that places will be available after the deadline. Late applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Step 4: Manage your application

UQ International Admissions will assess your application. They will contact you through UQ Online Applications with any updates or requests for additional information.

If you didn't apply through UQ Online Applications, UQ International Admissions will contact you by email.

After you've submitted your application, you can log in to My Applications to:

• access your application
• upload documentation
• provide referee details
• withdraw your application
• accept, decline or defer an offer
• pay all or part of your fees
• view your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
• ask a question using the messaging function.
