Is it like assessments will be the same type/grade? How different is the reading list etc?

I’m an international student trying to figure out preferencing and allocations.

One of my classes starts at 10am and is an hour long, and the next starts at 11am. They are on the same floor of the same building, but is this okay?

Do classes usually let out a few minutes early to allow for walking time to the next class?

Does anyone know when extra tickets for the july graduation comes out? My graduation is on the 16th the 5:30pm slot

Does anyone know if some exam results just aren't released on Gradebook? One of my courses' exam results are on gradebook but not the other. I want to torture myself and see how many marks off a 7 I was 😭 😭 😭

Hi everyone,

This is a bit of an unusual post, so if it's not appropriate for this subreddit, please let me know and I'll remove it.

My name is Angus, and I'm a third-year UQ student studying a dual degree: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honors) and a Bachelor of Computer Science. I'm specializing in Mechatronic Engineering with a major in Mining.

I've found university to be a much bigger adjustment than I expected. Over the past three years, I've struggled academically and have unfortunately failed several courses, including repeating one of them. It's been frustrating, but I'm determined to keep going and finish my degree.

I'm also on the autism spectrum, which can make certain aspects of university—particularly communication, adapting to new material, and completing assignments—more challenging for me. I don't mention this as an excuse, but to provide some context for why I sometimes need more support than other students.

One thing I've learned is that I benefit enormously from one-on-one help. Throughout school I had much more individual support, but at university that's much harder to find. As my courses become more specialised, it's also becoming increasingly difficult to find tutors who are familiar with the material.

Because of that, you'll probably see me posting here at the beginning of every semester looking for tutoring or academic help for my courses. I wanted to make this post so people know why I'll be asking so often.

You don't have to be a professional tutor. If you've completed one of the courses I'm taking and think you could help—even just by answering questions, explaining concepts, or sharing advice—I would genuinely appreciate hearing from you. Any amount of help makes a difference.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to lend a hand.

Just DM directly.

How do you get invited/express interest to do a pHD?

Just completed my masters.

Why do I have to decide my timetable and subjects in right at the end of exam block….. I’ve barely recovered yet.

Anyways…. time to get to preferencing before Monday. Not that we get much choice in third year 😭

Hi I will be having a stressful semester hence I need a slightly easier 4th elective (preferaby with minimal contact hours as I live far away). I have already completed MATH1050 and CSSE1001 in semester 1. For semester 2 I so far have:

- MATH1051

- ENGG1300

- ENGG1100

Thanks!

random question, i'm drawing human versions of australian universities and struggling with UQ and UWA, ive drawn the rest of the Go8.
you can look through my post history and see that yes i am serious 🙂‍↕️
any headcanons, personality, design, relationships with other unis?

edit: guys stop laughing at me 😭😭 please any input on making a good UQ gijinka
some starters...
- what is UQ known for?
- negative steriotypes about UQ students?
- UQ relationship with other unis?
- any notable campus details i can encorporate in the design?

Doing CSSE2310, ENGG2800, CSSE2002, ELEC2004 as a 2nd year. How cooked is this and can I survive is basicly the question. Cheers

If anyone has any comments or laugh at me or recommendations for electives instead feel free to comment.

Umm so id didnt know preferencing was to be done by today hehe. And I realised two subjects are clashing. N I changed in enrollment. But now to preference the new subject any idea how much time it would take to reflect in allocate? Cause it still shows the old subject.

if you dont please anyone, you have a slight chance of pleasing everyone

Hi, i’m a second year student studying bachelor of electrical engineering. i would like to ask of anyone have any suggestions for marketing or economics electives that doesn’t require too much effort on. i’m currently short listing MKTG1051 / ECON1010 / ECON1200.

Does anyone know when the personal details for the deferred exam timetable is gonna be released? I checked the academic calendar but it just shows the exam week, and the website isn't showing yet for me

(I'm doing electrical engineering)

I'm looking at trying to take Elec2004 and Math2010 without Math2001. On the course profiles, Math2001 is stated as a co-requisite, but I'm wondering if I can get away with delaying it until summer or sem 1 next year..

Specifically, I'm trying to drop Math2001 to clear room for CSSE2310 😅

For those who have taken these courses, do you think this'd be fine?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently doing a coursework Master's at UQ and was hoping to get a realistic perspective on GPAs.

Most posts I come across seem to be from people with very high GPAs (6.5–7.0), so I'm curious what the average experience is.

If you've completed (or are currently doing) a coursework Master's at UQ, would you mind sharing:

• Your approximate graduating/current GPA (roughly is fine)
• Your field (Science, Engineering, IT, Health, etc.)
• Whether maintaining a high GPA was difficult

I'm also wondering:

• How important has your GPA actually been for industry jobs?
• For those who went into research or a PhD, what GPA did you have, or what GPA is generally considered competitive?
• Is there a GPA threshold that you think is worth maintaining (e.g. 5.0, 5.5, 6.0), after which research experience, internships and publications become more important?
• If you failed one or more courses during your Master's, was that relatively common? Did it have any lasting impact on your career, research opportunities, or PhD applications, or was it something you were able to recover from?

I'd really appreciate hearing from people with a range of GPAs—not just the high achievers. Thanks!

I have two electives left in my degree but need to do three next semester to stay full-time for a variety of reasons.

Would prefer not to add to my HECS, if it can be helped, so I'm just wondering what electives are the least expensive or if any electives offered are free? They can be from any degree about any topic I don't mind.

Hey everyone,

For context, this is BEL faculty.

Just as the title says, I feel like exams have gotten a lot harder this semester. I was on top of all my work and studied a few hours a day every day during the semester, but I did not do nearly as well as I thought on my exams as when I got them back I got a little under 70% on all of them bar one where I got a very high mark.

I'm in no way complaining as I did manage three 6's and a 7, but when I was looking at previous exams for the subjects I did, they were much easier than this semesters exams.

Has anyone else noticed the exams have become harder or is it just me? Can anyone weigh in from other faculties?
