UCAT Opening Date
Students looking to gain entry into provisional medical courses or dentistry courses may wish to sit the UCAT. The UCAT is a requirement for entry into a large number of these courses throughout Australia and some in New Zealand. Here is a list of courses at various universities that require the UCAT to be completed to be eligible to apply: Universities and courses that require UCAT. Applications to sit the UCAT open on 3 March and remain open until 15 May, with testing held between 1 July and 5 August. The UCAT website has a wide range of practice resources available to students. For more information or to register, please click here.
Senior External Examinations
Any students in Grade 12 who are proficient in a language other than English have the opportunity to complete the subject as a Senior External Examination. Completing one of these subjects means that it can contribute to a student’s ATAR, will gain them 4 QCE credits and may also provide adjustment factors for university entry. The language subjects offered are:
- Arabic
- Indonesian
- Korean
- Latin
- Modern Greek
- Polish
- Punjabi
- Russian
- Tamil
- Vietnamese
Applications for this are open from Monday 2 February. The school must register on your behalf.
QCAA has not yet advised the cost of enrolment, but the price is usually around $75 so it is expected that it will be a similar price for this year. Interested students are asked to email Paul Moscos (Careers Counsellor) at pmoscos@slc.qld.edu.au as soon as possible or come into the Careers Office.
