The Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre made more than 8000 tertiary placement offers to the state’s Year 12 graduates on Thursday and Nursing continues to top the list of most popular courses.
The offers to 8,406 students were made at 8:30am, while a further 6,729 offers were made to all other applicants at the same time, making a total of 15,135 offers.
QTAC Acting CEO, Lisa Silver said the latest round of offers, following from those at the end of last year, takes the total number of offers to Queensland students to 24,521 and total offers to all applicants to 46,289.
“It’s fantastic to connect so many Year 12 students with their future aspirations,” she said.
Nursing and Health continue to top the most popular courses.
“In a time when physical and mental health is so important, it’s reassuring to see our next generation of health professionals coming through,” Ms Silver said.
Business, Engineering, Arts, Science and Education round out the top 20 courses offered to Year 12 students in this round.
Those who have not yet received an offer are advised not to panic as offer rounds continue throughout January and February.
“Now is the time to review your application or apply,” Ms Silver said.
“If you have had a change of heart, you can now login and change your preferences to be considered for future offer rounds.
“There are many alternative pathways to tertiary study and QTAC is happy to talk to you about your options.”
Students wanting to talk about options should call 1300 467 822.
For students considering study later in the year, institutions are now accepting applications for Semester 2.
