Upon successful completion of their IB Diploma students may also take advantage of the University of Queensland (UQ) Credit for International Baccalaureate students' arrangements. Students who have completed the IB Diploma can qualify for bonus entry points when applying for undergraduate degrees at UQ. Credit and/or exemption may be granted for studies in English, music, psychology, mathematics, biology, chemistry, engineering or software engineering. In the majority of cases, only IB Diploma subjects taken at the higher level (HL) will be considered for the award of credit and/or exemption. Language students will be required to attend a placement interview to ensure they are directed into the appropriate level of university study. It is anticipated that students who have studied a language at high level will be placed in more advanced streams.
Students may be awarded specified credit or unspecified credit, depending on the particular IB Diploma subject.
Details of subject credits available are on the University of Queensland IB Credit page.
