Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying creative arts

Creative arts degrees combine studio or performance practice with critical study. Entry often considers a portfolio or an audition as well as your ATAR.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into creative arts courses

Entry here works differently. Many courses combine your ATAR with a portfolio, audition or interview, and for some the portfolio counts for more than the rank. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite. Check each course individually, because entry varies more in this area than any other.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?

Do students stay and finish?

Of students who started at QUT in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree

Still studying

Never came back after first year

More recently: of new QUT bachelor students in 2023, 12.3% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.

Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you

What it costs, next to what graduates earn

Total student contribution:4 years × $9,880/year ≈ up to about $39,500Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – QUT did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. A double degree is charged at two rates. We only hold one, so the real total may be lower. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.
