Programs
     At UQ, a qualification or degree is called a program. We offer
     bachelor’s programs, dual programs and honours programs at
     undergraduate level.
     You can receive credit for applicable prior studies and if you don’t
     meet a program’s entry requirements, you can take advantage of
     our pathways to upgrade your academic qualifications or English
     language skills.
