Orientation is a program of social and academic activities designed to introduce you to live and study at UQ.

Our Health, Medicine and Behavioural Sciences orientation events give you a great opportunity to meet students from across the faculty and understand how we can support you throughout your journey.

To ensure you have the information and tools you need to succeed at UQ, you should attend:

  • a faculty orientation session
  • any program-information sessions that are relevant to your studies
  • any social events that interest you
  • a placements information session if you'll need to complete placements as part of your program.
