real experiences

After a period of assessing a number of different universities, I chose QUT due to its outstanding reputation within the business and IT industries, which is the area I was particularly interested in studying. I believe studying at QUT will give me the skills and knowledge I need to make the transition from uni to the workforce. I think my employment chances are increased by having real-world lecturers delivering up-to-date knowledge in a practical learning environment.
