Employability Award Written Task Guide
When should I submit my application?
You can submit your written application once you have completed all the Activity Requirements and reflected upon them through your Studenthub Workflow. There are two application rounds per year and you can apply for either round, so long as you are still enrolled at UQ and complete the written application and interview before you graduate.
Semester 1, 2025 deadline - Sunday 13 April, 2025 (11:59pm)
Semester 2, 2025 deadline - Sunday 14 September, 2025 (11:59pm)
Please note: These are firm dates for your written application and no extensions will be granted. We recommend that you prepare to submit your application early to avoid disappointment.
The application guide is subject to change so we highly recommend you follow the online instructions that are in place during your final semester at UQ.
