Computer science and IT ATAR cutoffs in Queensland

31 computer science and it courses at 6 institutions in Queensland, from 98.00 down to 60.40. Double degrees are included. Cutoffs are the lowest selection rank offered a place in QTAC's semester 1, 2026 offers.

A selection rank includes adjustment points, so some students got in with a lower ATAR. Cutoffs move every year, so treat them as a guide and check each course's prerequisites before you put it in your preferences.

Every computer science and it course, highest first
