UQ is offering places at its three campuses in the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) mid-year offer round for commencement in second semester 2007.

University of Queensland Admissions Manager Mina Singh said prospective students would not have to wait until 2008 if they were considering study at UQ.

“There are many exciting programs on offer at UQ Ipswich, UQ Gatton and at the St Lucia campus,” she said.

Mid-year information sessions will be held at the St Lucia and Ipswich campuses on Wednesday, May 23 from 6pm. These sessions will cover the programs available for mid-year entry and staff will be available to answer questions on entry requirements and advise how UQ recognises previous study and experience.

Ms Singh said mid-year entry students ranged from people who may have completed Year 12 in 2006 and had taken some time to decide what they wanted to study, to mature-age students who were resuming their studies or taking up tertiary study for the first time.

A list of available courses and the cut-off scores which applied at the start of 2007 are listed on the UQ website — visit www.uq.edu.au/midyearentry.

Students can apply via the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) website — www.qtac.edu.au.

QTAC applications close on June 4.
