Help with course and career decision making

Students who are not sure of what courses to include in their QTAC application can use two QUT career decision making tools — the recently redeveloped Match My Skills quiz and Kickstart Your Career online course. These resources can also confirm their choices and help them prepare for life at university and their future career.

Get advice to finalise QTAC preferences

Students can get advice from QUT staff about their study options once they know their OP or selection rank at Real Decisions on 18^th December. They can also talk to current students about university life, take a tour, or find out about study costs and support, getting started at QUT, and more.
