I'm a first year engineering student and want to choose the right app to use for notes and organisation that I'll be happy with for all four years. Something I can use to make good notes for each course, and manage tasks like homework and assignments.

I used notability in highschool but am not a big fan. I've been considering notion, but have also heard people say good things about craft, evernote, obsidian, and a few others. Does anyone have good experiences with any particular note taking apps? I'm on a mac.

hey all, thinking of enrolling in this course at UQ, IML Spanish Level 1A+B. Has anyone done this one or any of the other IML language courses? Is it good? keen to know what other people think

Hello, I have been accepted in masters of engineering for 2025 but I deferred it until 2026 due to travelling. I’m now considering coming back to Australia early and wanted to find out if it’s too late to accept an offer for this Feb. obviously I’ll call UQ on Monday but was hoping someone might have some insights… thank you!

Hi all! I will be studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Science this year at Gatton. I have completed a prior degree and I’m moving up alone from Sydney so I’m hoping I’ll make some new friends. This has been a lifelong dream of mine but with how my life happened I’m at this point later in life than a lot of people. I am 32 and I’m so excited but also nervous about being the grandma of my classes 😂 Just wondering if many other people on campus are mature aged students and what your experience has been like?

Had to complete a PIP as got some shit marks as a result of me working 2 jobs and leaving myself no time for exam study. I have since quit one and am working way less won’t be an issue this sem, my issues aren’t learning related but be taking on too many commitments

My PIP was accepted however the conditions just seem a bit overboard… if students are already struggling adding all these extra tasks to complete seems contradictory. I understand the importance of some…

Does anyone know what happens if you don’t meet all the conditions of your PIP but you still show progressive assessment and good grades??

Some of my conditions include:

• Back on track module
• counselling and well-being support by census date (my PIP reasons don’t require counselling in my opinion)
• Interview with SAO officer to discuss re enrolment and study conditions
• Attend study habits workshop
• make an appointment with an accessibility and welfare advisor
• Have a second appointment with the SAO advisor

Just watched 2012 Bait Aussie movie that made our mighty great white the bad guy...sad

Entering my final year and im still trying to secure an internship to finish EPP hours. I can claim about 90 hours with my part-time job + doing ENGG4900. How did everyone go about their internship hunt? Am i the odd one out here?

Hello guys, I am an upcoming master student majoring in an environmental science field who is interested in taking COMU7000 or Communication for Social Change Theory. To those who have taken the course, how difficult it is for someone like me without a background in communication? Is there a chance to fail the subject? Thanks!

Found its in gatton which is far off from the St.Lucia campus. Want to know from experienced people - is it worth going and travel so much?

Hey guys!

I’m starting at UQ this year and I completely forgot that Timetabling preferences closed on Tuesday.

I hadn’t finished enrolling in classes as I was meeting with some professors for course advice, and it completely slipped my mind that I had to Timetable for all my courses that day (I only had 2 at the time).

So for everything I didn’t Timetable, where do O go from here and what can I do?

Hi if this isn’t allowed please feel free remove it. I’m from England and I’m considering studying animal science/zoology at UQ and I just wanted to ask people’s opinions on what life there is like and any international students what the application process was like? Was it hard to get in? I’ve always dreamed of doing something like this with my life but want to learn as much as possible before I take the leap. I also don’t want to dedicate myself to something I might not even be capable of so if anyone could help that would be amazing and very much appreciated. There’s only so much google can tell me 😅 Thanks 😌

first year student here, is there such thing as joining too many clubs? Do they require like lots of commitment/meetings and is it better to stick to 2-3 than more? recommendations for the sorts of clubs to join?

Hi everyone! I’m starting postgrad Secondary Teaching this semester and I am considering applying for a winter or summer research program. I would love to hear your insights on how useful doing a research program would benefit my future job prospects as a high school teacher. Additionally, does anyone know how competitive these programs are to get into? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all in advance!

hey everyone!

i'm heading to UQ in 2025 as an international student, and i'll be doing a Communications degree. i have no idea what life in Brisbane or at UQ is like, so i’d love to hear from you! how’s the experience there? Is it easy to make friends? Is it a fun place to be? also, what’s dorm life like? would I have a better time and an easier experience staying on campus, or is living off-campus a better option? would love to hear your thoughts

Hi guys, I'm dumb and left it till the last minute.

I want to major in ancient history and Spanish but they've only got 1 course for the first semester.

So how do I make up the other 2 courses? If I've understood correctly, I can't choose general electives for the first 8 units, Do I just pick compulsory courses for other majors?

Hi guys, my health haven't been doing so well lately, and I got extension once but now my extension is expired and I still feel sick. I wonder if theres a hurdle for the last 40% assignment, cuz I don't think i will get a good grade when i submit it

I applied for my tfn a bit over a week ago and have since filled out my timetable. I submitted my tfn submission form but I was wondering, will my timetable still be approved/created as it may take a little bit longer for my tfn to arrive?

Ive gotten offers for bachelor of science in unimelb and bachelor of biomedical science in UQ. I'm not looking to enter med but I would like to stick to health sciences. I'm leaning towards UQ purely because its a bachelor of biomedical sciences but I'm open to hear advice based on peoples experiences/recommendations.

I'm starting at UQ in 2025, doing a Bachelor of Engineering and Commerce. I was just wondering how often you use your laptop in class to run simulations and use ANSYS, and if it's worth getting a PC instead of a high-performance laptop. Do I need to buy a high-performance laptop or PC, and if so, what are your recommended specs?

Hello reddit,

I had completed a BSc at UQ and was advised that I had to do a Diploma in Science to do Postgraduate studies. I've never heard of this program and I have completed a majority of courses in it already. Can I get prior learning credits for the courses I've completed already in my BSc? Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hey! I'm taking a summer semester, and I've got my exam in a week's time. I'm not feeling good about it. I'd love to be able to take a supplementary for it, but I'm not exactly sure how the process works. My questions are:

1. How can I defer my exam? Is a medical certificate sufficient?

2. When would I sit my exam, before or after sem 1 starts?

Thanks for the advice!

I am starting a bachelor of international studies this year (which comes with garenteed exchange,not quite sure how that works I would assume you still have to meet the requirments) majoring in international relations and japanese and was wanting to know if it is possible to do a 2 semester exchange or if anyone has done one. Not sure what subjects I should pick as I would save my electives but what core subjects should I save? If someone could give me some i sight it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone :-)

I am keen for Vet Science at UQ next year, and wondering if anyone has had experience with their admissions process and can offer some advice. I have a selection rank of 97.9, which I've been told wouldn't be competitive for admission next year.

However, I have since seen online that the lowest and highest unadjusted ranks for admission in 2024 were actually 93.8 and 99.95. That surprised me a little, as I would have thought 93.8 would be far too low.

I'm assuming this means that there were applicants admitted in 2024 who, like me, had an unadjusted selection rank somewhere between these two numbers?

Not applying as a school-leaver, so I'm assuming adjustment factors wouldn't apply to me, but it looks to me like I would get in with a 97.9 (based on last year's cutoff, at least!)?

Any advice appreciated :-)

I was looking at the aquatic centre at UQ and had a couple of questions while it’s so hot

1. the website first says that you can relax on the grass areas at the side. do people tend to do this as I haven’t seen this in any photos?

2. it also says there are no lockers. what do people tend to do with their clothes? leave them on the side of the pool?

thanks in advance for any help 🫶

Overwhelmed by organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with organic chemistry may be, I’m here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with me?

• Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. I do.
• I tutor organic chemistry full time, it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with me, you’ll be working only with me, not random people at an agency.
• You’ll be learning problem solving through organic chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.
• Your learning will be customized to your specific needs

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, my teaching style, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you!

Hi, I'm currently evaluating my options between Honours and Advance graduate diploma for psych.

If anyone that has applied/ got in / completed the clinical neuropsych masters please tell me if there is a difference OR inherent preference for Honours degree?

I've looked at the university's website and they ofc they say "Honours/ Honours equivalent"

I'm just kinda liking/ preferring some of the advance grad diplomas I've gotten into and feel like I'll have a better work/ study balance.

Thank you!

I am trying to complete my HECS-HELP application so that I can continue to enrol in courses but since I am currently missing some items to prove my identity, I can't complete my TFN application at this time. Am I still able to complete my eCAF form so that I can enrol or do I need a certificate of application for my TFN to complete the form? I can't find an answer anywhere
