At UQ, a standard full-time workload is 16 units over the year – this breaks down to 8 units (or four courses) each semester.

You don’t have to decide what courses you want to do for your whole program at the start of your first semester – we only ask you to choose courses one year at a time.

So, all you need to worry about at this stage is choosing four courses for Semester 1 and four courses for Semester 2, taking into account all compulsory core courses.

The Program Planner tool is designed to help you understand your program structure and select courses that may be of interest to you in your first year of studies. 

The Program Planner will also allow you to plan your enrolment for the duration of your program, can include any credit you may have from previous tertiary study and enables you to consider undertaking a semester on exchange.  

Please note that the Program Planner is a guide only and does not enrol you in your courses. You must enrol in courses through mySI-net.

The Starting at UQ website provides a guide for completing your enrolment.

Please refer to the course list and program rules on the Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice (Honours) courses and program website.
