Pre-Semester Preparation Programs

Each semester, UQ offers the following pre-semester preparation programs and to all new international students at no additional cost:

• English for Specific Purposes: Academic Communication Skills (ESP:ACS): A three-week program offered by the University’s Institute of Continuing and TESOL Education (ICTE-UQ) prior to each UQ semester. Visit ICTE-UQ for more information and course dates.
• Jump Start Academic Preparation Program (JSAPP): A four-day program offered by UQ Student Services prior to each UQ semester. Visit UQ Student Services for more information and running times.

If you have been away from study for some time or have not studied in Australia previously, UQ strongly recommends you to attend the preparation programs. These provide a great way to ease into your new academic environment and an opportunity to meet key support staff and other international students.
