Postgraduate Orientation

Welcome to the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS)

Orientation is your introduction to HASS and is designed to give you the information and tools you’ll need to kick start your degree at UQ the right way. 

All commencing HASS Postgraduate students will receive a series of emails from 21 January leading up to Orientation Week (O-Week) including registration links to attend your compulsory sessions. 

Getting ready for HASS Orientation

Ensure you’re ready for a great start. Register for orientation events and explore the options tailored to your program.
