Various universities offer similar courses in the area in which I’m interested. This makes it difficult to rank these courses on my QTAC application. Do you have any suggestions?

Here, you’ll be able to talk to lecturers and specialist staff, listen to seminars and collect material about the QUT courses in which you are interested. QUT produces three free booklets that will give you an insight into both the courses offered by this University and the environment in which they are taught.

There are a number of ways that you can improve your skills in preparation for applying again next year. You may wish to enrol in a course in a related area at QUT's Creative Industries Faculty or TAFE. Completion of a course/courses in your area of interest may improve your skills and/or give you more content for your portfolio, audition or interview. If your choice is one of the performing arts courses, remain active by attending classes regularly. Again, you should gain as much as experience as possible. This might be, depending on the area in which you are interested, by reading widely, working on your writing skills, attending the theatre, galleries or films, volunteering, seeking work experience, upgrading your computer skills/experience or any other activities that will enhance your experience and contribute to your ability to answer the additional entry requirements next time.
