UQ’s courses are administered by seven faculties: Faculty of Arts; Faculty of Biological and Chemical Sciences; Faculty of Business, Economics and Law; Faculty of Engineering, Physical Sciences and Architecture; Faculty of Health Sciences; Faculty of Natural Resources, Agriculture and Veterinary Science; and the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences.
Study Abroad and Exchange students are not restricted to taking courses in just one faculty. Students can take courses across any faculty as long as course choices are approved by the student’s home university.
While most courses are open to Study Abroad and Exchange students, some require permission from the relevant faculty or school before students can enrol in them. Students should list the courses in which they are interested on the relevant section of the International Student Application for Study Abroad or Exchange Program. If any courses require permission, the Study Abroad and Exchange Advisers will request this for the student. Students will receive a report with their letter of offer indicating which courses have been approved.
Once a student has accepted a place as a Study Abroad or Exchange student, they will receive a UQ username and password which can be used to enrol in courses online before they arrive.
Students who need more time to decide on their course selection or who wish to change their courses can wait until they arrive at UQ before they enrol in or change their courses.
Students who require assistance with their course selection can attend an Academic Advising Session during Orientation where academics from all areas are available to assist with course choices and provide permission for new courses if necessary.
You can find an overview of some of the popular courses offered by each faculty on the What can I study page.
A full list of courses available for Study Abroad and Exchange students can be found by going to UQ’s Courses and Programs website. |
