澳-昆士兰大学-2025年S2关键日期&行前指南&晚报道&接机信息

Dear Valued Partner,

We've compiled key information to support your students preparing to commence their study at UQ in Semester 2, 2025.

To avoid any delays caused by visa processing, we strongly encourage applicants to submit their application, accept their offer and pay their deposit fees as early as possible. For this reason, we are making changes to our Application and Offer Acceptance deadlines for Semester 2, 2025.

International students applying from offshore:

Date to submit application for Semester 2, 2025* - 5 May 2025
Date to accept offer for Semester 2, 2025 - 18 May 2025

International students applying from Australia have until 25 July 2025 to submit applications and accept their offer (excluding programs where late enrolments are not permitted).

There are no changes to application deadlines for any other UQ or UQ College intakes, though we strongly encourage applicants to apply as early as possible to avoid visa processing delays.

*Some program exclusions apply, refer to Important Dates under How to Apply on specific program pages on the UQ Study website. 

Should applicants face delays with receiving their student visa, please be aware that all international students will be allowed to commence up to the end of Week 2 (Semester 2, 2025), provided they have completed their enrolment and are ready to attend classes by this date. 

Some programs are excluded and do not permit late commencement.

After this date, any international student seeking approval for late commencement will be required to submit their request via email to iaslatearrivals@uq.edu.au.

The Faculty of Business, Economics and Law is offering a 5-day academic boot camp designed specifically for students who will commence the Master of Business program at UQ in Semester 2, 2025. This one-week preparation program offers a unique opportunity for students to connect with their peers, familiarise themselves with library resources and gain practical experience in a tutorial setting. 

Students will engage in various activities that will help them transition smoothly into their academic journey. This boot camp is an excellent way to build a supportive network and enhance essential skills that will be beneficial throughout their studies. 

Spaces in the program are limited, so encourage students to register early to secure their place.

The 2025 allocation of the UQ International High Achievers Award has now been exhausted. No further UQ International High Achievers Awards will be offered for 2025. Any applicant who has received a scholarship offer but has not yet accepted, must accept by the deadline stipulated on the scholarship offer. To accept the scholarship offer, applicants must have accepted their program offer and paid the deposit in full. 

All new applications submitted for Semester 2, 2025 will be assessed for eligibility for all other UQ international scholarships available.

The entry requirements for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) have been updated. The changes are effective for entry to UQ programs from Semester 2, 2025. For the specific entry requirements for each program, please refer to the UQ Study website.

Complimentary airport pickups are offered 24/7 from Sunday 6 July – Sunday 27 July 2025, at both International and Domestic Terminals for international students new to UQ. 

Students should request airport pickup at least 24 hours before their intended arrival date and provide their destination address at time of booking. There is a limit of 2 bags per student plus carry on. Students will be charged A$20 for each additional bag. 

Our welcome crew will be at the airport between 7am to 8pm from Sunday 6 July – Sunday 27 July 2025 to welcome new international students. 

If students prefer to not utilise the complimentary airport pickup, the Welcome Crew will assist them with finding a rideshare or taxi: 

• Taxi 
• Rideshare (Uber, Didi, Ola and Sheba) 
• Airtrain  
• Con-x-ion shuttle bus

More information about the complimentary airport pickup shuttle service can be found on the International student airport welcome and shuttle service webpage.

All new or continuing students preparing to arrive in Australia are invited to attend an International Student Pre-departure information session.

These sessions will cover accommodation and airport reception, planning finances and health insurance coverage. Students will also be given tips on what to pack, what to expect upon arrival to Australia and an overview of the University campuses. 
 

Session details:

• Register for Wednesday, 25 June, 10:30am - 12pm (AEST)

Our Student Services team also provides other information sessions to help students prepare for life at UQ.

A reminder that UQ is transitioning from its guaranteed accommodation offering to approved provider agreements with our accommodation partners. These new agreements will offer greater benefits to students by enhancing awareness and access to a wider range of high-quality accommodation options.
