I'm a new student and will be starting my studies in February next year. I checked the academic calendar and it states that my timetable course timetables will be available on December 2; but I just checked and its still not available for me.

Has anyone been able to buy extra guest tickets?

Hey guys I was just wondering if anyone could give genuine insight into how different these courses are in respect to difficulty. For instance, if I was able to get mostly 7s in commerce, would this then equate to mostly 6s in BAFE with the same effort? How math heavy is the course? I know it will be relatively math related but is the math for instance a significant amount harder than commerce/economics degree or how would it compare to a math or engineering degree? Lastly, I have heard that there is inclusion of coding within the course, would I need to have previous experience in coding before taking those courses?

I appreciate any input given, thanks.

To my knowledge, most Universities do some levels of online study. My question is, are the lectures filmed and how easy is it to work online, away from UQ? If it helps, I want to do psychology.

I also want to ask if it’s worth getting a dorm and how you all pay the weekly amount? Thank you!!!

Hey guys, if i'm failing my deferred exam that I need to sit this December, when is the supplementary exam going to held?

Just finished up my first year in psych at UQ. I liked Neur1020 and Psyc1030 mostly. Stats sucked but everyone knows that lol. Want to know what I'm in for next year and onwards both with compulsory subjects and for choosing electives. What were your favourite and most hated subjects?

Do companies reference check for vacationer programs?

I completed some units 8 years ago at QUT for social work. I then switched to psychology and unfortunately faced various issues that lead me to going part time and then eventually ceasing studies all together. I got my diploma in child youth family intervention in the mean time and have been working in the sector consistently (child safety residential, disability support, mental health support, alcohol and other drugs and now a case manager for at risk young people in the community).

I decided to finally return to complete my social work degree. Had they accepted my RPL, I would have needed only another 2 years of full time study. However my credit was rejected saying that the time lapse between completion of the units was too long. But on the UQ website it says credit for units completed can be accepted in a 10 year gap. When I appealed the decision on these grounds they advised I must submit my case to the dean and they will consider it.

Do I have any other recourse? It states on their site that my Timelapse from completing the credit it acceptable so why should I have to jump through these hoops?

Hi all, I received a commendation for academic excellence. Does this actually mean anything as I’m graduating next week or is it just on my transcript due to my grades? Thanks.

I just applied and got approved for off-campus examination at singapore which is significantly cheaper than flying back to Australia, and have paid the exam fees but this one sentence keeps holding me back from buying a plane ticket, "Payment does not guarantee arrangements in all locations and where off-Campus arrangements are not possible, a request for refund should be submitted"

My question is how likely is it to get turn down after approval (?), I emailed them twice about this matter already and heard nothing. I'm so stressed since the ticket price keeps increasing.

Hi all, I’m thinking of doing a one-semester graduate certificate in UQ in S1 2025. I figured that all four courses are available online. Can I just do the graduate certificate online, without having to apply for a student visa?

I have been blessed with the wondrous opportunity to do supplementary assignments for both CSSE2310 and COMP3506 and was wondering what that looks like and how hard is it to get through it?

Thanks

Are there any chill courses yall recommend for a high gpa?

Thanks all.

are deferred exams easier or harder than the original? I'm in commerce.

I would love some help on choosing my final course next year for my Bachelor of Maths, Applied Maths major. My options are:

• MATH3070
• MATH3101
• MATH3104
• MATH3201
• MATH3204
• MATH3403
• STAT3004

I'm looking for the easiest course essentially, but please provide any other insight you can. Currently leaning towards MATH3101.

Additional context: I've done all the compulsory courses except MATH3102 so far, and have also done MATH3202. Of these, I found MATH2400 and the PDE part of MATH2100 the hardest. I'm also a mediocre coder at best.

Looking for other students who are heading to ACUR2024. If you're going on your own, maybe we can connect and meet during the registration and head to some of the sessions together (Mainly interested in the psych, arts, education ones) hehe.

is there anyone here who has ever (unfortunately), failed PSYC1030 before? and had any success with taking the supplementary assessment and passed with a 3S4? how’s it like - like is it a written assessment or something that tests you on the learning outcomes of the whole course? especially if you’re an international student who failed PSYC1030… n had to take it offshore. or does what come out depend on the quizzes you failed, if any? i got a borderline fail (3) and was allowed to take a supplementary assessment😭

Three day extension was granted until 3pm on xx date due to illness. Assignment was submitted at 4pm on xx date (all other assignments had been due at 4pm, didn't realise change of time). Marks have come back with a 40% penalty (4 x 24 hrs x 10%).

Shouldn't the penalty only be 10%?

Email has been written to course co-ordinator, with no reply.

What are the next steps?

Currently have a fail for the course due to not meeting the hurdle on this assignment.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been accepted into the Bachelor of Business Management program at the University of Queensland for the July 2025 intake. I’m an Indian student currently pursuing Commerce with Applied Mathematics, and I’ve always wanted to study abroad to enhance my career prospects.

My family is supportive, but I’m wondering if the return on investment (ROI) is truly worth it for this program and university.

From what I’ve researched, UQ has a great reputation globally and offers strong networking opportunities. That said, I’d like to hear from current students, alumni, or anyone else who has insights:

1. How is the Bachelor of Business Management program at UQ in terms of quality and employability?
2. What are the job prospects for international students post-graduation, especially in fields like business analytics, marketing, or entrepreneurship?
3. Are there enough part-time job opportunities in Brisbane to manage living expenses?
4. For someone from India, does UQ offer adequate cultural and academic support for international students?

Thanks in advance!

Heyy I am gonna take admission in uq for 2025 intake master of counselling, so if you are also gonna do master on 25 intake, let's connect :))

Just a general enquiry because I’m curious. What happens if you are in your final sem and you fail a course but you’re eligible for a supplementary exam. Can you still graduate that sem? Or do you have to wait for the following semester. Just curious because I am supposed to graduate next semester but I have a terrible track record with passing final exam hurdles.

Hi all, struggling student here graduating from BSc.

Long story short, struggled bad with a really low gpa. Regained spirit. Did well in this final semester with sem gpa of 6.33. But CGPA still just a 4.45.

I’m looking into a graduation certificate of molecular biology to eventually transfer credits to a master degree. But the GPA requirement is 4.5, I’m 0.05 away.

Anyone with experience that UQ can somehow overlook this 0.05 gap and let me into the GC?

Hey guys. I just finished Year 12 and am looking to start at uq in 2025 majoring in political science, was just wondering if anyone here does the course and what it's like? cheers.

Hi, I received a 84.25% in my major project and wanted to give my project report for remark as I I am sure I did better. Plus getting bumped up to a 7 would be very helpful as I am applying for a PhD. Now the question is, I am set to graduate during the upcoming December ceremony. Will querying for re-mark change my graduation? Any input is welcome, thanks!

One of my courses do not have the usual grading system (i got a 5 even though i got an 80) is this allowed?

Hi guys! Incoming UQ student here, and I'll be doing by masters in Data Science.

I've got some electives, and I was thinking of going with MATH7039 (Financial Mathematics).

Just wanted to ask about the course here.

If anyone’s taken it before, could you let me know how it is, how hard it is, etc.?

Thanks!

Title. Blackboard has all the assessment components of my course posted including the final exam.

Do they round up for 0.75 points by any chance?

Hey all I’ve received 41/100 in one of my courses.

I was not able to perform well throughout the sem because of special circumstances and I have a letter from the UQ sexual misconduct support counsellor as well. However I just want to be give supplementary and be over with it. Is there any procedure for Supplementary for special cases like these? I have emailed my professor if he could bump me up just 4 marks to qualify me for it but he he said sorry and has stopped responding. I understand this is an unusual request but I genuinely would like to finish my degree asap and go back home as this is too unbearable for me.

So I was wondering if there was anything else I could do otherwise this would extend my degree by a semester and I cannot afford to do that mentally.

I failed two courses in 2 sems, one each. In process for remarking for the second one. I don’t what to do ahead like do I have to take a permission from someone to take 5 courses in the next sem? Faculty of science or APA? Is there anyone who can help me understand the process? Thank you to anyone who suggests/advices
