Academic Advice
Academic advisor
Academic advisors can help you choose your courses and plan the enrolment for your program (degree) with consideration to:
- Your career goals and interests
- Your academic interests
- High school subjects or previous university courses that you have completed
They may also be able to answer academic questions about:
- Whether or not to withdrawal from a course during a semester, and the consequences it may have for your future study
- Choosing an appropriate study load if you have significant responsibilities outside of your university commitments
- Changing your program (degree), including adding or removing a dual degree
The first year academic advisor is Professor Caroline Crosthwaite.
Academic advisors for students in second year of engineering (across all specialisations), can be found on the Academic Advice page.
Further advice and application forms can be found at my.UQ.

Engineering Professional Practice
The Engineering accrediting body Engineers Australia, states that 'exposure to professional engineering practice is a key element in differentiating a professional engineering degree from an applied science degree' and requires engineering graduates to have exposure to professional practice.
