Overview
UQ’s Bachelor of Computer Science uses a direct-entry, merit-based admissions model in Australia: the main screen is academic rank (ATAR/selection rank or equivalent), with English language proficiency required where applicable. The official program pages do not list a portfolio or statement-of-purpose requirement.
