QUT has made more than 11,700 QTAC offers to students for places across its three campuses in 2016.
QUT Registrar Ms Shard Lorenzo said more than 8,200 students received offers today (January 14) in the January QTAC round and a further offer round would occur on February 4.
She said QUT was pleased to be the university of choice for more than one quarter of prospective students.
“In fact more students across the board placed QUT as their first preference and we feel our focus in STEM engagement and state-of-the-art facilities have played a key role in this.”
Ms Lorenzo said more than 2,000 or 18 per cent of offers made so far were for degree courses within the Science and Engineering Faculty, with the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) very popular accounting for more than 650 offers made so far.
“We are seeing high demand for maths, information technology and business degrees at our Gardens Point campus, and double degrees are also attracting a lot of interest again this year,” she said.
“At our Kelvin Grove campus, the health sciences are all performing strongly, with nursing doing particularly well.
“Our secondary education programs are also in high demand on that campus and at Caboolture, strong numbers in business, creative industries and nursing will see a vibrant campus community in 2016.”
Students may enrol immediately and Ms Lorenzo urged prospective students who have received an offer for a place at QUT in this round to accept their offer as soon as possible through QTAC.
Ms Lorenzo said there were still opportunities to gain a semester one place at QUT across all faculties and campuses.
“Anyone who is considering a new application or wishing to change preferences for semester one is encouraged to apply to QTAC for the February offer round,” she said.
