How To Use This Book

to qualify for University, TAFE or College entry Follow these steps before you choose your Year 11 and Year 12 subjects: 1. USE Section One to nd out more about: the Senior Education Prole (SEP); the importance of your Overall Position (OP); Field Positions (FPs); the Queensland Core Skills (QCS) Test; and the tertiary selection process in general. 2. REFER to Section Two to investigate your Areas of Interest. Decide which areas most interest you and which you would like to pursue as a career. 3. USE Section Three to check out the Tertiary Courses that relate to your Area of Interest. These are listed by institution. 4. CHECK Section Three for the Course Entry Requirements to the courses that interest you. This section has information about subject prerequisites, other requirements such as portfolios and auditions, and Field Positions, where relevant, for each course.

INTRODUCTION TO TERTIARY STUDY - A SMALL STEP INTO A BIG FUTURE

You are now on the home run to the end of Year 10. It is a time to look ahead seriously and choose your Senior subjects with future study and career in mind. As you take your first classes in semester two, you probably have some general idea of what kind of career you might like to pursue or what interests you might like to follow after your secondary schooling is over. If your interests call for additional education, either at university, TAFE or college level, you will need to make some decisions now about the subjects in Years 11 and 12 which will help you get into the courses that allow you to follow your goals and dreams. The kind of planning needed to make successful subject choices and career decisions takes time, thought and research into the wide range of options available. Subject choice is a personal decision that requires you to think carefully about what you are good at and what genuinely interests you. Take time to think about possible careers and use the people around you, including parents, teachers and other advisers and experts such as guidance officers or counsellors to discuss your interests, concerns and future plans. The TerTiary PrerequisiTes Book Tertiary Prerequisites is written to help you, and the people who can advise you, make your road towards tertiary study easier, more realistic, and ultimately more effective. The book is a great resource that will assist you in exploring more than 1600 courses available through QTACs participating institutions. Courses available through QTAC range from certificate courses that may take less than a year to complete, to degree courses that may take three, four or five years to complete. The types of courses available are also very different in terms of how much practical or theoretical study is involved. Usually the shorter courses are more handson while the longer courses tend to involve a greater combination of both theory and practice. Tertiary Prerequisites provides an overview of the courses that institutions expect to be available in 2013 and, most importantly, it provides a detailed map of the requirements for entry to those courses. Even though 2013 seems a lifetime away right now, most of you will finish Year 12 in 2012 and will be applying in September that year for courses commencing in 2013. What all this comes down to, is that you will need to consider the areas of tertiary study that appeal to you, identify the requirements for entry to those courses, and then plan your Senior years with this in mind. Aside from Queensland Year 10 students, the book will also be useful to prospective applicants from all over Australia who may be contemplating tertiary study in Queensland or northern New South Wales in 2013. While the book provides a very good guide to the courses expected to be available in 2013, new courses will inevitably be added and some will be withdrawn. The QTAC Guide to Tertiary Courses and the QTAC website www.qtac.edu.au will keep you informed about the latest choices available and provide course outlines and other relevant information. The QTAC Guide is provided to all Queensland students in year 12 and is also available for purchase from QTAC or newsagencies throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales.

inTeresT areas An important activity in planning your future is considering what you are interested in. This may be easier than identifying a specific course that is right for you. Tertiary Prerequisites directs you to your areas of interest, outlines some of the career opportunities, and shows you what courses are available at QTACs participating institutions. The 11 interest areas are: Built Environment and Design; Business and Tourism; Creative and Performing Arts; Education; Engineering and Technology; Health and Recreation; Humanities and Social Sciences; Information Technology; Law; Primary Industries and Environment; and Sciences. One of the factors that will help in your Senior subject decision-making is that, generally, courses in the same area or field of study have the same or similar entry requirements. Course enTry requiremenTs Section 3 of the book is set out as a table, on an institution-by-institution basis, with each course entry detailing the duration of the course, the entry requirements for that course, and the Field Positions that will be used if information in addition to the Overall Position is required. Spend some time considering the wide range of courses available and the institutions offering them. Take the time to find out not only the requirements for admission to courses but also the locations of the institutions, as attendance at some institutions may involve extensive travel or living away from home. The course entry requirements (prerequisites) listed in this book are usually subjects studied in Years 11 and 12 and are linked to the exit assessment levels required at the end of your Senior study. The book also gives other requirements, such as portfolio and audition requirements, that you may need to present when you apply. You will also note that in some cases subjects are listed as assumed knowledge or recommended study. These categories indicate that undertaking such subjects in Years 11 and 12 would be beneficial, especially in the case of assumed knowledge, but are not essential for admission to that course. See page 4, under the heading Choosing Senior Subjects for definitions of assumed knowledge and recommended study. Taking The sTeP Once you have taken time to consider your goals, your subject selection will set you on the path to achieving those goals. Like any journey, there will be unexpected bridges to cross, and at these points you will need to pause and reflect on your path so far and, if necessary, modify your goals. The point to remember, though, is that in most cases the bridges can be crossed. So remain calm and rest assured that once you have chosen your course of study there is always a way of getting there.
APPLYING FOR TERTIARY STUDY IN 2013

If you plan to go on to tertiary study at any of the institutions listed in section 3 you will apply through QTAC for a place. Applications can be submitted from 1 July in the year you are studying Year 12 and are made via QTACs Twelve to Tertiary online application at www.qtac.edu.au. You can list up to six different courses on your application including courses starting in first or second semester 2013. Having several course preferences means you can apply for a number of suitable courses and have back-up options if you dont get your first choice. Read the QTAC Guide to Tertiary Courses or visit the QTAC website www.qtac.edu.au for more information about applying closer to the time.

Introduction

SECTION 1

THE SENIOR EDUCATION PROFILE

Students may undertake a range of studies in their senior phase of learning. All certification relating to Senior schooling is determined by the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA).

Different subjects contribute different weight to the different fields. For example, Maths B and Maths C contribute more highly to Fields C and D than English or History. On the other hand, English and History contribute more highly to Fields A and B than Maths B or Maths C. FPs are used to provide more information when considering two or more applicants with the same OP at the cut-off point for a course. This additional information is used to choose between students for a very small number of courses. For entry into semester 1 2010, only 12 courses (less than one percent) required Field Positions to be used. oP ineligiBle sTudies If you do not qualify for an OP you will be considered for tertiary entrance on the basis of your academic achievements and your results in the QCS Test, if you sit it, or other qualifications such as certificate study. For more information on how OP Ineligible Students are assessed for tertiary study see page 6.

(The exit levels of achievement in section 3 of this book are for Authority subjects, eg English (4,SA), unless otherwise stated) Authority-registered subjects Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate studies school based apprenticeships and traineeships tailored training programs international learning preparatory, enrichment and advanced courses recognised by QSA year 12 CerTifiCaTion Students completing Year 12 may receive one or more of the following: Senior Statement records all learning in the students learning account and the results achieved during the Senior phase of learning including a result for the QCS Test if applicable QCE - Queensland Certificate of Education confirms a significant amount of learning at a set standard, including literacy and numeracy requirements QCIA - Queensland Certificate of Individual Achievement confirms learning outcomes for special needs students on individualised learning programs VET Certificate - vocational education and training certificate certifies competence in a vocational education and training course or qualification level Tertiary Entrance Statement issued by QSA to OP-eligible students, it reports a students OP in one of 25 bands from one, the highest, through to 25. The Tertiary Entrance Statement also reports up to five Field Positions (FPs) The Overall Position (OP) is a statewide rank order of students based on their achievement in Authority subjects. It shows how well an individual student performed in their Senior studies when compared with the performance of all other OP-eligible students in the state. A students OP, together with subject prerequisites or other requirements such as portfolios and interviews, is very important in determining which tertiary course they could gain entry to. Field Positions (FPs) show a students rank order position (on a one to 10 scale, with one being the highest) based on achievement in Authority subjects. These fields identify areas of study that emphasise particular knowledge and skills. FPs are determined only for OP-eligible students and only for the fields for which their subject choices qualify them. The five Field Positions are: Field A = Extended written expression involving complex analysis and synthesis of ideas. Field B = Short written communication involving reading, comprehension and expression in English or a foreign language. Field C = Basic numeracy involving simple calculations and graphical and tabular interpretation. Field D = Solving complex problems involving mathematical symbols and abstractions. Field E = substantial practical performance involving physical or creative arts or expressive skills.

Introduction

If you intend going on to tertiary study you should be aware that the main selection criteria are your Overall Position or QTAC selection rank (for OP ineligible students), and successful completion of the minimum entry requirements for a course. Minimum entry requirements are usually prerequisite subjects. suBjeCT PrerequisiTes Subject prerequisites are the subjects you study in Year 11 and Year 12 that are stated by universities, TAFE and colleges in section 3 of this book as necessary for you to complete at the required level to qualify for entry to particular courses. Subject prerequisites are expressed as minimum achievement levels in specific senior subjects. For example, English (4,SA) indicates that the Queensland Studies Authority subject English (or equivalent) must have been studied over four semesters (ie Years 11 and 12) and an overall Exit Assessment of Sound Achievement or better obtained. assumed knowledge Assumed knowledge is the minimum level of achievement in a Senior subject (or equivalent) considered necessary for successful first year tertiary study. Students lacking the assumed level of knowledge are not prevented from enrolling; however, they may be disadvantaged unless they undertake recommended bridging, preparatory or appropriate introductory subjects prior to or during their first year of study. Further information is available from the Admissions Office of the institution concerned. reCommended sTudy This applies to subjects recommended in order to undertake a course successfully. These subjects are not entry requirements and do not affect applicant selection. suBjeCT ChoiCe In choosing your Year 11 and 12 subjects we strongly advise that you:

select prerequisite, assumed and recommended subjects for the tertiary courses in which you are interested; and choose the remainder of your Senior subjects by what you do best and what you prefer to do. In this way you are likely to achieve your best possible results. Your parents, guidance officers/school counsellors or other school staff can also help you with choosing Senior subjects.

HOW YOU ARE SELECTED FOR TERTIARY STUDY

oP CuT-offs - exPlanaTory noTe Any guide to OP cut-offs you may use, such as that on the QTAC website www.qtac.edu.au or in the QTAC Guide to Tertiary Courses remains a guide only, as actual cut-offs can only be worked out on the day.

Selection for tertiary study, except in some cases where alternative selection methods are used (such as interview or audition), is based on your academic results as shown in the Student Education Profile. oP eligiBle sTudenTs To be considered for admission based on an Overall Position you must have: met the minimum entry requirements; and obtained an Overall Position (OP)
Step A

It can be seen from this that it is impossible to predict the OP cut-offs until all the applications for a particular course have been lodged and processed and this only occurs well into the application period. It is also important to remember that the cut-off only reflects the past minimum standard and that most students entering the course received higher OPs than the minimum. Variables used in calculating the cut-off for each course: Demand the number applying for the course Quality the quality of those applicants (that is their OP or QTAC selection rank) Supply the number of places available for the course use
of

All applicants who fall into an OP band above the minimum cut-off point for a particular course will be offered a place in that course (see the Selection example below). OP cut-offs are not predetermined and vary depending on the number of applicants for a course, the applicants OPs/ QTAC selection ranks and the number of places available in the course. See OP cut-offs explanatory note on this page for more information.
Step B

field PosiTions

If the number of places in a course dictates that not all applicants within an OP band can be made an offer, as the Selection example below shows, then selection within the OP will be based on Field Positions. See Use of Field Positions in the next column.
Step C

In section 3 Course Entry Requirements, you will notice that the final two columns in the table are headed: Fields used for Selection within OP. These columns indicate which Field Positions, will be used for selection to each course if the number of applicants in the OP cutoff band is too large for all candidates to be selected. See page 4 for a description of each Field Position. The first of the two Field Position columns shows the Primary, that is the first, field to be used for finer selection of candidates with the same OPs. The second column, showing the Secondary field, will be used only if the first field is not fine enough (see examples below).
Fields used for Selection within OP Primary B Secondary C

In rare cases, even after Field Positions have been considered, it can happen that more information is needed to differentiate between students with the same OP applying to courses that are highly competitive. In these instances a further step may be used. Depending on the institution, this could include using any of the following: level of achievement in prerequisite subjects; school reports or additional information supplied by the applicant; the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (previously known as Interstate Transfer Index); or individual results from the Queensland Core Skills Test.
Selection example

Example 1.

The table below is a fictional example presenting students who want to study Law at Roma University. There are 150 places available (that is the Course Quota) and 225 students have applied for places in the course. Twenty-five applicants have an OP 1, 100 have an OP 2, and a further 100 have an OP 3. Based on this scenario, the table shows how students are actually selected. It also shows at what point, and how, Field Positions become important in selecting students to courses. Number of applicants within an OP band OP 1 25 applicants OP 2 100 applicants OP 3 100 applicants. This is where Field Positions are used in selection, see 'Use of Field Positions' following Total applicants = 225 Number of offers made 25 offers made 100 offers made 25 offers made based on applicants' field positions 75 applicants with OP 3 do not receive an offer Total offers = 150 Course quota = 150 Cumulative total = 25 Cumulative total = 125 Cumulative total = 150 quota filled

Using example 1, applicants with a Field Position of 1 in Field B will be selected before those with a Field Position of 2 in Field B, and so on. If looking at the Primary field does not prove to be fine enough then your results in the Secondary column, in this case Field C, will be considered next. Once again, a Field Position of 1 in Field C will be considered before a Field Position of 2 in Field C, and so on. In example 2, two possible fields (Field A or B) are used as alternative Primary selectors. And in this case, for someone who has a Field Position
Example 2. Primary A or B Secondary C

of 1 in Field A and a Field Position of 2 in B, the Primary selector used would be Field A, that is, the better of the two. If this is not fine enough, then the Secondary field, in this case C, would be used. Remember that applicants who fall into higher OP bands, that is in OP bands above the minimum cut-off for a particular course, will be made offers regardless of their results in the relevant Field Positions, as long as they have met the minimum entry requirements.

Introduction

If you have satisfied the minimum entry requirements and obtained an OP, you are considered for entry to your selected tertiary course in order of OP remember that OP band 1 is the highest and will therefore be considered before OP band 2, and so on.

SECTION 1

For example, a course that shows a past cut-off of OP 3, could end up being cut off at OP 2 in the year that you apply, depending on the number of students applying for the course, the standard of their OP/ QTAC selection rank, and the number of places available in the course.

oP ineligiBle sTudenTs Students who complete Year 12 but do not qualify for an OP are still eligible to apply through QTAC for courses. OP ineligible students compete for places on a similar basis to OP eligible students. That is, they must meet the minimum entry requirements before being considered for a place based on merit. For OP ineligible students, merit is measured by their OP Ineligible QTAC selection rank (as opposed to an OP). A QTAC selection rank is allocated on the basis of results in their best 20 semester units of Authority and Authority-registered subjects and VET units of competency/modules as recorded on their Senior Statement and, if available, their results in the Qld Core Skills (QCS) Test. A poor result in the QCS does not have a negative effect on a students selection rank, it will only be used to moderate the rank upwards. QTAC selection ranks range from 1 (lowest) to 99 (highest). QTAC has developed a table that provides comparisons between OPs and QTAC selection ranks. This allows OP eligible and ineligible students to compete for tertiary study places on an equitable basis. Unlike OP eligible students, if differentiation between applicants is needed at the cut-off point, Field Positions are NOT considered for OP ineligible students. OP bands usually cover multiple selection ranks, eg in 2009, OP 12 was comparable to a QTAC selection rank between 77 79, therefore differentiation can usually be obtained by selection rank, eg applicants with a selection rank of 79 are selected before applicants with a selection rank of 78, etc. Points to note: Undertaking an OP ineligible Senior secondary school program may make it difficult and in some cases impossible to achieve the high ranks necessary for entry to very competitive tertiary courses. Students completing Year 12 with fewer than 20 semester units of Authority and Authority-registered subjects and VET units of competency/modules will still be eligible for a QTAC selection rank but it will be less competitive than if they had completed 20 units. Students not undertaking the standard tertiary pathway, ie being eligible for an Overall Position, may not be considered for tertiary entry interstate and should contact the relevant institution.
YEAR 12 PATHWAYS

oTher roads To TerTiary sTudy

Courses not requiring OPs/QTAC selection ranks

SECTION 1

For some courses, tertiary institutions may not use an applicants OP or QTAC selection rank in the determination of a tertiary offer. Alternatively, an applicant may be selected on the basis of a portfolio of work, audition, interview, test result, or other requirement listed in Section 3 of this book. This scenario usually occurs within skills-based courses such as art, music, and dance.
Applicants with qualifications in addition to OP/OP ineligible study

6
Introduction

Some Year 12 students have qualifications in addition to Senior results that can be used in the assessment of their application. Such qualifications include AQF Certificate III or IV, music qualifications like AMEB Grade 7, or study undertaken at a tertiary institution. These qualifications will be assessed according to tertiary institution policies and may give the student a more competitive QTAC selection rank than awarded for their Senior study. Various Year 12 pathways to tertiary study are shown in the diagram below.
Special admissions schemes

Most institutions also have admissions schemes to assist applicants in special circumstances gain entry to tertiary courses. For example, there are access and equity schemes, regional preference schemes, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander schemes. For more information, visit the QTAC website or contact the institution directly.
Subject bonus schemes

Some institutions have schemes where applicants receive bonus ranks if they passed specified subjects at school, such as languages other than English or Maths C. For more information on these schemes visit the QTAC website or contact the institutions directly.
Special consideration of education disadvantage

Applicants who believe they have suffered disadvantage in their academic performance for reasons beyond their control (eg relating to equality of opportunity, disability and health, or on compassionate grounds) may request special consideration in their QTAC application. Should these circumstances arise, please speak with your school guidance officer in the first instance as they may be able to provide assistance while you are still studying.

The diagram below shows how different qualifications/pathways can lead to tertiary study

For most courses, QTAC uses these ranks (and whether minimum entry requirements have been met) to allocate course places to applicants. Where an applicant has multiple ranks, institution policy dictates which rank is used to allocate a tertiary place - for Year 12 students, it is generally the highest rank. Tertiary place allocated

* QTAC assigns a QTAC selection rank to a qualification based on a variety of schedules and individual tertiary institution rules. Not all qualifications are eligible for a rank and ranks for qualifications can change. Multiple ranks are not combined to give a greater score.

STUDY COSTS

ADMISSIONS STATISTICS

Information regarding the cost of tertiary study can be found at www.goingtouni.gov.au or by contacting the tertiary institution directly. Please note, the exact course costs will not be known until 2012. PuBliC universiTies Public higher education providers offer Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) to Australian and New Zealand citizens and holders of a permanent visa. The Australian Government contributes towards course costs for these students, and students pay a student contribution. While student contributions vary between providers and courses, these must be within a range set by the government (see table below).
Student contributions per year Student contribution range for 2010* $0 to $4249 $0 to $5310

For entry to tertiary courses in 2010, QTAC received 22,231 applications from students who completed Queensland Year 12 in 2009.

Also for entry to courses in 2010, QTAC received 2246 applications from students without an OP. Of these, 934 (41.6%) gained entry to university courses, 1011 (45.0%) to TAFE courses and 53 (2.4%) to college courses. These figures include students who may have received an offer based on alternative selection criteria, for example, a portfolio, audition, alternative admission, or special consideration of educational disadvantage.

All students are required to contribute towards the cost of their program, however, some programs attract a government subsidy. VET FEE-HELP may be available. FEE-HELP is available for Southbank Institute of Technology. PrivaTe Providers Fees for non government institutions vary between providers and generally are not subsidised by the government. FEE-HELP is available for some courses. inTernaTional sTudenTs International students generally pay different study costs from domestic students. Contact the international centre of the institution for information. finanCial assisTanCe Financial assistance may be available through income support from Centrelink, scholarships, or through government loans (such as HECSHELP for Commonwealth supported places, FEE-HELP for selected private provider courses and VET FEE-HELP for eligible students at approved VET providers).

Introduction

SECTION 1

Of these, 19,985 applications were from students with an OP. Of these, 17,510 (87.6%) gained entry to university courses, 1314 (6.6%) to TAFE courses and 320 (1.6%) to college courses.

AREAS OF INTEREST This section provides a brief description of each of the following areas of interest: transportation and infrastructure planning, market analysis, visual impact analysis, and real estate analysis.

8
Areas of Interest

SECTION 2

Built Environment and Design Business and Tourism Creative and Performing Arts Education Engineering and Technology Health and Recreation Humanities and Social Sciences Information Technology Law Primary Industries and Environment Sciences

Industrial design is the art of designing objects for daily use, particularly those
which are mass produced by industrial techniques, and products that have commercial, medical and industrial applications. The design process involves analysis of the likely demand for a product and the creative application of innovative ideas. This is balanced by a knowledge of materials and production methods, resulting in products which are reliable, economical, safe, and comfortable to use. These products can be consumer appliances (eg whitegoods, electronic goods), furniture, heavy machinery, or transport. Employment opportunities range from working with consultancies and manufacturing companies to government departments.

Interior design is the planning and design of layout, finishes, lighting, fittings,
and furnishings of building interiors. It requires a knowledge of community/clients' attitudes, and their behaviour and comfort requirements. A knowledge of building and furniture construction is combined with a critical appreciation of the decorative arts. Interior designers' duties may include organising material supplies, providing cost estimates, inspecting the progress of work and maintaining time and quality controls on site, and designing exhibitions or commercial displays. A interior designer must be able to imagine, evaluate, organise, and control the construction and fitting out of interiors. Graduates find employment with architects, interior design consultants and government departments.

The prerequisites for courses in each of these areas of interest are outlined in section 3: Course Entry Requirements. BUILT ENVIRONMENT & DESIGN

Architecture is the art of designing buildings, groups of buildings and other

structures, and overseeing their construction. Architects prepare designs and drawings within client specifications, safety regulations and legal requirements. Their designs incorporate both the structural and mechanical aspects of building within an aesthetic framework. They prepare documents detailing the building materials and construction equipment required and interior fittings. Architects liaise with builders and planning authorities, administer contracts and observe and coordinate construction.

industries. Graduates have a knowledge base and skills for a career in wineries, production management, quality control, and research and development.

EARTH SCIENCES Archaeology is the scientific study of past human activities, by discovering
and analysing their physical traces. These traces include artefacts, buildings, campsites and shipwrecks. Evidence of environments which have been altered less visibly are analysed on a chemical or microscopic basis. Both prehistoric and historic societies are studied, as are human origins and evolution.

Biology is concerned with living things and their relationships to one another,
as well as to the physical environment. Biology is divided into zoology and botany. Zoology deals with animal life from its single-celled form to large animals, being concerned with the anatomy (structure), physiology (functioning), and the behaviour and ecology of the various forms of animal life. Special studies include aquaculture, ecology, marine biology, animal behaviour, comparative physiology, genetics, cytology, histology, systematics, and evolution.

Areas of specialisation include ecology and conservation, plant molecular biology, plant pathology, plant physiology and biochemistry, molecular systematics, and marine botany.

Earth resources is the study of the distribution of elements within the solid
earth, the hydrosphere and the atmosphere, and the principles governing their migration. As such, Earth resources includes disciplines as diverse as mining and exploration geochemistry and environmental science. It involves the study of geology, chemistry and other science subjects.

Earth science is the broad term used to describe studies of the solid earth,
the hydrosphere, and the atmosphere. It includes studies of the properties of the Earth, the natural processes that act on both its surface and its interior, and the history of its evolution. The numerous branches of Earth science studies are based on applying various combinations of chemistry, physics, mathematics, computing, or biology to Earth systems. The boundaries between the branches commonly overlap. Earth scientists (including geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, and palaeontologists) find employment in government and private sectors including the minerals and energy industry, civil engineering consultancies, environmental and groundwater consultancies, and research institutions such as CSIRO and universities.

Microbiology subjects are concerned with living organisms that are microscopic
in size and their medical, veterinary, industrial, environmental, and other practical applications and impact. Bacteriology, virology and immunology are particularly important areas of study. The subjects are essentially biological in character, but a good background in the physical and chemical sciences, especially biochemistry, is important.

Exploration geology, mining geology, exploration geophysics and mining

geophysics are the application of geology and geophysics to the exploration and

SECTION 2

mining of deposits of minerals, metals, and fuels essential to survival. Basic geology or geophysics studies are complemented by practical application studies.

Clinical placement must be undertaken in Queensland. In practice this means from Mackay north. For the flexible delivery option the first year is completed off campus via online learning packages, with some residential periods on campus for practical classes. Years 2, 3 and 4 are completed on campus in Townsville. A compulsory one week (36 hour) fieldwork placement is undertaken in first year. Students who have not completed the language that they wish to major in during Years 11 and 12 must take foundation subjects in first year. This will extend the duration of their course. At Mackay the course is by flexible delivery involving a combination of distance education and weekly classes at JCU Mackay Study Centre. Students undertaking the distance education course are required to attend on-campus study at Townsville for 10 days each year. Only first and second year of this course are available at Cairns; students continue their studies at Townsville.

Students may take the program on a part-time basis, but the final year must be taken on a full-time basis. This program is a fast-track option for students who receive a provisional offer in MBBS. The bachelor component requires a full-time workload of two years, and subsequent to completion, the MBBS program is an additional four years full-time, with courses commencing in January each year. Students who receive a provisional offer in the MBBS may opt to fast-track their studies by enrolling in one of the three six-year dual degrees: B Arts/MBBS, B Health Sciences/MBBS and B Science/MBBS. Students who do not enrol in one of these dual degrees should note that their first program may have a duration from three to five years, and subsequent to completion, the MBBS program is an additional four years full-time, with courses commencing in January each year. Students may accelerate their studies and complete the program in 2.5 years by taking a semester long clinical practice course in the summer semester and semester one of the final year. Only some first year courses are available at Ipswich. Students may complete majors at the St Lucia campus after completing courses at Ipswich or depending on performance, change to the St Lucia campus. Options for accelerated study include Summer Semester. Students may take the program on a part-time basis, but the final two years must be taken on a full-time basis. Some distance education courses may require residential school attendance.
