As a school leaver you may be facing numerous course and career choices. Thinking about university can be a very exciting and challenging experience.

It is very common for school leavers to have some of the following concerns:

  • I am finding it difficult to identify what course/s I should apply for
  • I am unsure of my career interests
  • I am concerned that I will not get the O.P. required for my preferred course
  • My O.P. score is unlikely to get me into the courses I listed on the QTAC application
  • I am wanting to study at university, but I didn't do the pre-requisite subjects at high school
