Enrolment
You can enrol in one unit per semester, in addition to your Year 11 semester two and/or Year 12 semester one studies.
You can choose a unit from a different study area in each semester; for example, a science unit in Semester 2, and a business unit in the following Semester 1. This might be a good option if you are looking to study a double degree.
If you're hoping to receive advanced standing (credit) toward a degree for the units you complete, it's best to select those related to your chosen future study area. Your START QUT studies, including the grades you achieve, will be included as part of your official QUT record.
Please note enrolment in START QUT is not permitted after semester 1, year 12.
