UQ deputy vice-chancellor (academic) Professor Joanne Wright said the institution made almost 4000 offers to prospective students on Thursday, with Health Science, Engineering and Environmental Studies in high demand.
“The demand for our dual program Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Masters of Engineering grew by 27 per cent with more than 300 first preference applications,” Professor Wright said.
“There’s also very strong interest in Environmental Science, which is up 22 per cent and demand for Health Science is up by 19 per cent.”
Professor Wright told students who didn’t receive an offer for their preferred course “not to despair”, and said places were still available.
“Limited places may also be available in high demand programs such as Dental Science, Physiotherapy, Nursing, Midwifery and provisional entry to the Doctor of Medicine so some applicants who missed out on an offer in the main round may still be eligible to receive an offer in later rounds,” she said.
“They can conditionally accept an offer and still wait to see if they get their first choice.”
