The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) recently made more than 9327 tertiary offers to the state’s 2022 Year 12 graduates and, topping the list of most popular courses, nursing and health continue to attract future students.
A further 5434 offers was made to non-Year 12 applicants, making for a total of 14,761 offers made via QTAC in this offer round, across 1254 courses.
QTAC head of customer experience Chris Jack said, “We’ve started 2023 with a lot of momentum. We know our institutions are excited to make offers and that applicants are even more excited to learn what comes next in their tertiary journey.
“At a time when health is so important, we appreciate applications are largely reflecting the needs of our communities and society, with nursing and health courses having overall the highest appeal to our applicants,“ Chris said.
These popular courses include paramedic science, biomedical, optometry, health sciences, physiotherapy, medicine and psychological sciences.
This year also features engineering and business courses in the top 20, with interest from applicants across all age ranges.
“Applicants need to remember they are at the wheel here, and that there is always a way forward, whether you qualified for an ATAR or not,” Chris said.
“We are really keen to see this cohort succeed. This is a group that are dedicated, resilient and passionate, having had to learn to adapt to constant change. They will no doubt persevere along the road to making their dreams a reality.”
Applicants who have not received an offer to date are advised not to panic as offer rounds continue throughout January and February.
“Some people might not get their first preference while others might find they are undecided and wish to reconsider their options. Whatever the outcome of your QTAC Application, now and in the future, there are many alternative pathways or approaches to tertiary study,” Chris said.
“Offer rounds happen more than once a year and QTAC are here to help.”
