Equity entry programs

[Print-friendly version]

QUT encourages diversity amongst its prospective students by providing entry programs to assist people from all walks of life to enter the university course of their choice. QUT understands that social and economic factors may have affected or delayed progression to tertiary study; and/or that applicants bring a diverse range of skills and experiences that are not reflected by formal studies.

What Equity Entry programs are available?

QUT has a number of entry programs to assist certain groups to enter university and provides additional support measures to students while studying at QUT.

Prospective students who do not meet standard enrolment criteria to enter the University's programs may be eligible under alternative entry programs. These programs include:

• Oodgeroo Unit entry (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students)
  
• Q-Step Program (for students from low socio-economic backgrounds)
  
• Mature-Age entry (for students not entering directly from high school on the basis of work and life experiences)
