The ATAR cut offs for nearly 2000 university courses and tertiary programs has been released by the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre with some requiring scores of 99 and others as little as 31.
The cut offs are based on the level of demand for places in 2023 and follows the second major tertiary offer round this week which consisted of 14,761 offers made across 1254 courses.
Coupled with the initial major offer round on December 22 and early offers, a total of 45,117 tertiary offers have been made to Queensland students for 2023 programs.
Medical science at Griffith University required a huge ATAR of 99.85, Dental Hygiene at Griffith required an ATAR of 99.3, Physiotherapy at University of Queensland required an ATAR of 99 while at Australian Catholic University it was 97.5 and 97 at Griffith Uni. Sonography at CQ University needed 96 and a Bachelor degree of Commerce and law at University of Queensland required 97.5
While on the lower end of the scale, Nursing at CQ university required an ATAR of 31, a Diploma of business at Southern Cross University needed an ATAR of 45 and Biomedical Science at Australian Catholic University required an ATAR of 50.
Not all courses listed have ATAR cut offs for a variety of reasons, listed below.
AO – offer to all qualified applicants
N – not open to Years 12s
MT – special entry only (multiple-criteria & talent based)
MF – forced offer
MR – special entry in addition to academic merit (multiple criteria & rank)
The most popular courses overall comprised of Paramedic Science, Biomedical Science, Optometry, Health Sciences, Physiotherapy, Medicine, Psychological Sciences, Engineering, and Business.
However, Dentistry also emerged as a top contender this year.
The state’s 11 major universities also crunched the numbers and revealed their most popular courses based on QTAC preferences.
QTAC Head of Customer Experience Chris Jack said those who did not receive an offer on or before Thursday should not panic, as offer rounds continue throughout January and February.
“Applicants need to remember they are at the wheel here, and that there is always a way forward, whether you qualified for an ATAR or not,” he said.
“Some people might not get their first preference while others might find they are undecided and wish to reconsider their options. Whatever the outcome of your QTAC Application, now and in the future, there are many alternative pathways or approaches to tertiary study.”
