January 29 is the closing date for people wishing to change their preferences through the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) for consideration in the February 7 offer round, according to University Manager, Admissions, Claron Driscoll.
She said the University expected to have about 8000 places available for entry-level to the University's St Lucia, Ipswich and Gatton campuses this year.
First semester begins March 5 at UQ, and second semester on July 30. First semester UQ orientation activities start Tuesday, February 27, with a full Orientation program on the web at www.uq.edu.au/o-week.
Popular University of Queensland programs with applicants for the first QTAC round of January 18 have included animal studies, e-commerce, business (management), commerce, behavioural studies, engineering, physiotherapy and veterinary science.
Applications will close at the end of May for mid-year entry via QTAC to University of Queensland courses. Applications for mid-year entry will open from late April.
Ms Driscoll said people who were not offered a place in their ideal programs should not panic as there were a number of alternative pathways for improving their chance to enter their desired program at a later date.
