Welcome to the Faculty of Science
How to prepare for Orientation Week (O-Week) 12–16 February:
- Work through Starting at UQ to get set up for the semester. Use the Science Study Planner to help you choose your courses.
- Attend the Getting Started sessions to find out about planning your program, Library services, IT essentials, navigating Learn.UQ (Blackboard) and more. These optional sessions run from January.
- Register for your compulsory Program Information Session to meet your program director and ask questions about your degree structure and course choices. These sessions run before O-Week.
- Register for your compulsory Science Induction Session during O-Week to hear from current students, meet your peers and future friends, and find out how to make a successful start to your studies.
- Explore additional optional sessions to help you prepare for university and find free on-campus welcome events run by UQ Life.
