Masters by Research (Behavioural Science) Joke Fokke theNetherlandsI chose to conduct part of my Masters research thesis at QUT because my supervisor in the School of Psychology and Counselling is an expert in her field. Brisbane is a great city to live in as there’s a mix of nationalities, a nice outdoors lifestyle and you experience the Australian culture.

The institutes: a meeting of minds

QUT’s four institutes seek solutions to research questions by bringing together experts from across the university, breaking the bounds of traditional discipline-based teams.

The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) is tackling problems facing Australia’s ageing population, as well as pursuing solutions to global health and wellness challenges.

The Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation (iCi) builds on QUT’s international leadership in addressing the questions of creative innovation, national innovation systems and creative human capital.

The Information Security Institute (ISI) consolidates QUT’s long-term reputation as a world leader in information security and is strongly aligned with the national research priority of safeguarding Australia.

The Institute for Sustainable Resources (ISR) is addressing the issues of climate change, energy use, renewable technologies and sustainable communities.

QUT International College

Constance Adukrow Ghana Foundation program and Bachelor of Nursing Through the QUT International College Foundation program I learned academic skills such as critical thinking, how to write succinctly, how to deliver a professional presentation and how to reference according to Australian university standards. All of these skills, along with learning to study independently continue to be of great value to me in my degree studies.

Built Environment and Engineering

Jason WrightAustraliaBachelor of Engineering (Civil) QUT is well recognised by the top engineering companies, so when I graduate I know that I will be work-ready. In my future career I hope to travel and gain experience working in foreign cultures and environments, and I know that the friendships and networks I have made at QUT will allow me to achieve this.

Regina WhetstoneUnited States of AmericaStudent ExchangeFriends at my home university Purdue had told me how much they enjoyed their time at QUT, so I really wanted to experience it for myself. The staff and students are very friendly and Brisbane is a beautiful city to study and live in.

Business

Samantha Scott AustraliaBachelor of Business (Economics) Having students from so many different cultural backgrounds makes tutorial tasks and discussions a lot more interesting. It’s also great for extra-curricular activites, like the language exchange program – which wouldn’t be possible without all the foreign language speakers willing to trade their native-language tips for our English ones. Getting involved in the clubs and social activities on campus is a great way to meet other students.

Santiago Saavedra ColombiaBachelor of Business (Public Relations) Studying Public Relations at QUT has helped me gain a deep insight into the current industry and its many demands. This is helped by the teaching staff, who are directly involved with the most reputable firms. In many of our subjects, we work for a real client, with a real issue or opportunity, which we use as the basis of projects and assignments.

Creative Industries

Guarav Kashalkar India Creative Advertising graduate One of the main reasons I chose this course was the structure. The course has been designed to ensure that newcomers as well as veterans in the advertising industry would find it interesting and extremely helpful. This practical course, which gives hands-on experience in advertising, gave me the confidence and the skills required by the industry. Most of the assignments involved creating advertisements which would contribute towards building a portfolio. The internship gave me the chance to work with an ad agency in Australia and it was an experience I’ll never forget. I ended up completing more than 120 hours with Redsuit Advertising.

Course informationBlue cardAs required by the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian Act (2000) students must undergo a criminal history check and be issued with a blue card before commencing field experience/practicum in an organisation where they may work with children or young people (under 18 years). This is a mandatory requirement that must be met prior to undertaking any field experience/practicum program throughout your course.

If you wish to undertake this program at QUT, you must submit your original blue card application form at the time of submission of your Acceptance of Offer form. It is recommended that your acceptance is submitted at least three months prior to the commencement of classes for this program.

Literacy requirementAll Bachelor of Education students are required to satisfactorily complete assessment criteria relating to Queensland College of Teachers’ (QCT) literacy standards by the end of year three of their course in order to meet the course and QCT professional accreditation requirements. Literacy modules have been developed as a remedial action for students who do not attain satisfactory standards on the relevant literacy criterion during their assessment in the first year of their studies. Students will have the support of the First Year Experience Coordinator. Students may attempt these modules any number of times during the first three years of their program. At the end of year three, unsatisfactory results within course work and these modules may result in a recommendation for an early exit from the four-year degree..

Health

Lan Huong Vu Vietnam Bachelor of Health, now studying Master of Public Health Before my Masters degree, I chose QUT to study my Bachelor of Health Science. I found QUT was a great place to build up strong education foundations for my career development. QUT has excellent teaching staff who share practical knowledge and skills, all relative to the real workplace. They are also very supportive and care about how each individual student can develop to their fullest potential.

Science and Technology

Maxim Sheludchenko Russian Federation Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Microbiology I chose to study my PhD at QUT because the research areas align well with my area of scientific interest and I have the opportunity to apply problem-solving skills to real-life issues. The campus is conveniently located in the city centre and I like the relaxed lifestyle Brisbane has to offer.

Study Abroad and Exchange

Choosing QUT as a Study Abroad or Exchange student can equip you with international skills to succeed in the real world. You’ll also experience new cultures and build international industry contacts, all while you travel to some of the world’s most beautiful locations.

Viktoria Gross GermanyStudy Abroad student, University of SiegenAt QUT you don’t just learn about business strategies, you learn how to apply them which helps to understand them properly. I have enjoyed my study abroad time; it has helped me to grow personally by adapting to new places and people, and getting to know the Australian culture.
