A semester at 180DC UQ

Across the 13-week semester, partner firms run workshops and host project check-ins. Teams finish by presenting their work to clients and industry judges at pitch night.

Weeks are indicative. The 2026 client pack places Semester 2's recruitment at the end of July, the workshops in August, the check-in in mid September and pitch night at the end of October.
