Pathway to Success
If you are uncertain about your academic path or have not met the ATAR threshold for a bachelor's degree, you can pursue a combined diploma degree pathway.
All QUT diploma courses are offered through the QUT College, where you participate in university-style classes, small group discussions, and hands-on workshops to enhance your independent learning skills. At the QUT College, you are part of a supportive community dedicated to your success.
Completing a diploma could earn you up to a year of credit towards a related bachelor's degree at QUT. Successful diploma graduates receive a direct offer for the bachelor program, bypassing the usual application process through QTAC.
