What can I study at USQ?
You will require a certain level of English before you can begin your studies with USQ. This will depend on the program you choose. If you find you don’t have the English language entry requirements you need to get into the degree you want, you can study an English language or pathway program through USQ’s Open Access College to help you achieve your goal.

USQ Degrees
Once you have the required level of English, you have a choice of qualifications ranging from diplomas, associate and bachelor degrees, postgraduate certificates and diplomas through to master degrees and PhDs.  It all depends on what you have already studied and your individual interests and career aspirations.

All USQ programs are registered with the Australian Government and meet their strict requirements so you can be assured of the quality of education you will receive.
You can find descriptions of all the programs and courses USQ has to offer on the USQ website.
