Year 12 Bonus Schemes

 

A number of QTAC's institutions operate Bonus Rank Schemes for Current Year 12 students applying to commence tertiary study at these universities. These schemes recognise achievement in a range of study areas.

Bonus ranks may be awarded for successful completion of specific Queensland Year 12 subjects such as Languages other than English (LOTE) and Maths C, and some university-level subjects. A current Year 12 applicant may potentially be awarded a combination of bonus ranks. The maximum number of bonus ranks awarded will depend on the institution.

There is no separate application process as the points are awarded automatically. Please note bonus ranks are added to the OP equivalent QTAC Selection Rank.

 

For the OP equivalent selection ranks see the Australian Year 12 Conversion Table.

The following is a list of institutions who have Year 12 bonus rank schemes.
