  • Lowest rank is the figure to compare yourself with. If you have no adjustments, your ATAR is your rank; if you have some, add them first.
  • Lowest ATAR: some got in from here because adjustments lifted their rank.

Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying science & mathematics

Science degrees are usually built around a major you choose, such as biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics or data science. Most include laboratory or field work.

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

Getting into science & mathematics courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is expected, and mathematics is commonly required or recommended. Some majors assume a Units 3 and 4 science subject, so check the major you want rather than only the degree.

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 UQ in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree

Still studying

Left after returning

Never came back after first year

More recently: of new UQ bachelor students in 2023, 7.4% 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 × $4,908/year ≈ up to about $19,600Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – UQ 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.
