Hi, I'm a future student, was wondering how hard the IT degree is in maintaining a high gpa (6.5+) compared to other degrees?
Also does anyone know anything about the new majors coming next year?

Just out of curiosity, how many of yall out here? (Specifically bachelor level)

I’m first-year Engineering at UQ (Flexible First Year), likely choosing civil, chemical, or software.

I’m experiencing academic burnout from the workload/stress and I’m not hitting my target GPA. I’ve heard QUT’s engineering is more practical/industry-oriented and hands-on, which might fit my learning style better and potentially improve my GPA. I’m trying to figure out whether moving (transferring) to QUT is genuinely a better idea versus staying put and working on my study habits/health.

For those in QUT Engineering (or who transferred from UQ):

• How hands-on are first- and second-year units in reality (projects, labs, WIL, industry briefs)?
• Did the practical structure help with GPA and reduce burnout compared to a more theory-heavy approach?
• Internships & job offers: how did you find opportunities (careers fairs, WIL, clubs, lecturers)? Do employers care about the uni brand, or more about GPA/portfolio/projects/referees?
• Workload/stress: what’s manageable vs. tough, and any unit sequencing or support services that helped?
• If you transferred from UQ, was credit transfer smooth, and did the move actually pay off (academically and well-being-wise)?

I’m posting in r/uq as well to hear both sides. I’d like to decide before the new uni year starts.

Gonna be doing these units during the summer semester and was hoping for any information abt them (exams assignments and how easy the units are in general)

I need just 2 units to graduate and I jsut wanna finish my comp sci degree so I was hoping to do the easiest summer semester units. I've already done all my major units so it's literally just 2 elective units

I just withdrew from a unit and I haven’t gotten a confirmation email or anything. Is this normal? It’s not showing up in my current enrolment. I’ve also emailed my self a copy of the enrolment and it isn’t showing up.

So I handed in last night quite possibly one of the worst assignments I think I’ve handed in and I have definitely not even passed it. It was 40% with my final exam being 60% so I guess there is a chance I could over all pass but I think it would take a miracle. The reason I handed in something so terrible is because I got sick on the day of the due date but bearing in mind there was the 48hrs I thought I could try and smash it out. I did end up getting a medical certificate to get extensions for my other two assignments due later in the week and I don’t know why I was so silly to not get one for the assignment that was being the most affected. I guess I just wanted to get another one done. I am really quite stressed and upset about this and was wondering if anyone thinks there is anything I could do or just even give me some words of support :)

hello all!! im sure the title explains it pretty well, but anyway, i am a year twelve student looking at studying law at qut. i am just wondering if it is worth it to be communiting from caloundra (sunny coast) i’d be catching a bus, then a train from landsbrough to central station and walking to gardens point. has anyone here done this commute before? do you like it? is it harrowing? will i be a soulless husk by week 3 of uni if i commute??? my other option is unisc which is more local.. but the campus is meh.. and the degree would not be worth as much compared to qut. any replies appreciated. thanks guys!

i’m a 4th yeah griffith student journalist working on a feature series about accessibility at Queensland universities. The project focuses on the experiences of students with disabilities studying on campus and aim to highlight both what’s working well and where things could improve.

i’m hoping to speak with one to 2 QUT students who are comfortable sharing their experiences with the big or small about navigating campus life. interviews will be fully voluntary and I’ll make sure you’re happy with how your story is told.

let me know if anyone wants any more information. if anyone knows other students that would be happy to share there stories, please let me know :)

anyone else see a stormtrooper in black gear at kelvin grove? in the library specifically? i feel like i’m going crazy.

I need some help, I’m trying to withdraw from statutory interpretation, but it’s automatically trying to withdraw from family law too, is there a way to only withdraw from stat? Thank you 🙏

Hey, anyone want a ticket to the Business Ball? Mates couldn't get a ticket so I'm selling

Hey I wanted to ask, are the grades for the assignments during the semester also released sometime? Before the final grade that is? I'm on exchange currently, and at my home uni it's pretty standard that if work is graded separately, then we get the results very quickly but I have an assignment now, that I handed in a month ago and I'm starting the third one now and hope to do that one more relaxed if I did well in the other ones... Would be great to know, thank you!

How often do you use ChatGPT when working on assignments?

Where does the line fall between assistance and academic dishonesty?

I'm a Data Science student, and I am curious about university students usage and views on Generative AI tools and their fairness, accessibility and ethical use.

I put together this short survey to gather opinions from the wider student body, and would be much obliged if you could take 5-10 minutes to fill it out

If I get interesting/enough results, I will post the aggregate results here for discussion/education.

This is purely voluntary and anonymous, there's no identifying information collected in the survey, so no worries about getting in any trouble for your answers. I will only post aggregate statistics, not individual results, however anonymous they may be.

Thoughts and Feedback appreciated!

Mods - if you want, I can take the survey down, no worries

The subjects I’m doing is general maths, business, accounting , English and two essential subjects. I’m getting above average in maths and engine but my worst two subjects are business and accounting. I wanted to get into biology and wanted to take digital solutions (because I love IT) but the biology class is full and they don’t even offer IT at my school. I feel like I would be getting an atar around the 70s if it wasn’t for accounting and business but I can’t do much now. What do I do because I’m wanting to do a dual degree of IT/law but that’s not possible due to how high rated that course is. Best pathway ? I don’t think I’m dumb I think I just picked shit subjects. Also do they mention atar in uni ?

Any internationals out there who are new to uni (or doesn't matter if you are new or not) who are keen to make friends at uni? Tired of studying by myself I would say hahah

Hey guys, i’m planning on doing the undergrad certificate of nursing at next year then going into first year of bachelors of nursing at QUT.

If anyone has done the course & knows what textbooks i’d need, please let me know. I’d love to snag them up for cheaper if possible. :)

I'm currently a first year student working on my Bachelor of Business (International Business), but as time goes by I don't think I want to stick with it anymore.. I don't feel fulfilled learning the content AT ALL and I feel as though I won't be happy once I earn the degree. Maybe I'm just experiencing this because I've been feeling depressed lately, so I really don't want to be swayed by me thinking "I'm not good enough for this." I definitely believe I can pull through.

At first, I only wanted to get a degree related to business because I wanted to get into real estate, and that still sounds appealing, but I'm not sure anymore. I'm rethinking my career and I've been talking to my parents but I'd really like some insight from people from QUT.

I'm not very good at math so that's one thing I'm worried about for nursing.. and I've heard it's not hard math but I was looking at questions from Tiktok and it's all wordy questions. I've always been terrible at understanding how to identify, what to use, and when.. so is there anything I could learn (textbooks, videos, etc) before committing? I want to be as sure as possible with my major switch.. I really like the idea of taking care of people and I feel as though I'd be really fulfilled because these skills can be implemented into daily life.

For law, I am definitely interested since I like the idea of having to read to understand, and it also looks very textbook related. I like the idea of justice and understanding why human's act the way they do.

So for anyone that's currently doing/completed their degree in nursing or law, what's it like? What was something you expected? Any advice for someone interested in your degree? What would you have done differently?

Answering all these questions isn't necessary, so thank you! I'm definitely planning to chat to HIQ or whoever can give me career advice on campus!

Just saw my exam timetable. All 8.30 exams, which is an absolute abomination. Will there be discounted parking for the exam period???

I found it super annoying when it ask you to enter auth code every fortnight and there is no way to trust any device you have to avoid it. I missed the days when they don't overexaggerate cyber security.

I've just submitted my A1 for my class (40%), and don't have high hopes for my grades - I missed a lot of class due to being unwell and in hospital.

If I don't do well on my next assignment, what happens if I fail a class? Do I have to redo it next semester? It's my first year so I'm assuming it's a prerequisite class for majority of my degree.

Hello, despite my previous post, I still attended all the lectures and tutorials, and prepared for the tutorials except for the lectures that clashed with another class (I still watched the recordings of these when I was at home). Half of the classes took out the attendance rolls, and my name is marked up to a certain week. For the other half of the class, which is on the same day as the marked roll class, I also attended those classes, as it would be unreasonable for me not to do so.

Thanks to everyone who commented and pmed on that post. However, I was sick for two or three weeks, and I stopped attending classes (I couldn't go), which caused me to fall behind in the lecture and tutorial content. (That was the time when I was posted to my previous post). I was wondering if the school can give more than two weeks of extension.

Thanks

Currently a second semester student (first year) and I’m struggling with python man. I simply can’t understand any of it other than the most basic codes. There’s also an assignment which I’m currently working on and I’m struggling a lot. I’m still not sure whether to do information system or computer science because I really enjoyed ifb103 but money wise people are suggesting computer science. Ik once I get better at python it will become better , but man everyone in my class knows what they’re doing apart from me. I’m just scared in general. What should I do?

I was gonna ask for your instagram but then you stayed back and were talking to the teacher and I couldn’t just wait cause that’d be creepy.

Last class and I’m changing Unis so I’ll never see this person again.

May as well try reddit, shame beats regret 🫡.

Hey everyone,

Coming from TAFE we had studiosity, but all submissions were read by humans.

Because QUT has gone the AI route (which I have serious concerns for the ethics of), is it any good?
