Year 10 & 11 - Planning Ahead

Year 10 could be the most important year of your schooling. The main reason is that Year 10 is the time to look ahead seriously, and choose your Senior subjects with future study, career and vocation in mind.

As you take your first classes in semester two, you probably have some general idea of what kind of job you might like to do or what interests you might like to follow after your secondary schooling is over. If your choice of work or academic interests call for additional education, either at university, TAFE or college level, you will need to make some decisions now about the subjects in Years 11 and 12 that will help you get into the courses that allow you to follow your dreams.

Tertiary Prerequisites

Tertiary Prerequisites is written to help you and the people who advise you, make your trek towards tertiary study easier, more realistic, and ultimately more effective.

The book is a great resource that will assist you in exploring the courses available through QTAC's participating institutions. Tertiary Prerequisites provides an overview of the courses that institutions expect to be available when the student is applying in Year 12 and provides details of the requirements for entry to those courses. The prerequisites listed are subjects that should be studied in Years 11 and 12 and are linked to the exit assessment levels required at the end of senior study.

QTAC sends a complimentary copy of this publication to all Year 10 students in Queensland each year in July.
