Parents' guide

[Print-friendly version]

At QUT we understand that helping your son or daughter as they make their choice about what course or career path to follow and settle into university is much easier if you have access to all the information you need. This site guide provides links to relevant information on the QUT website.

Parents can also subscribe to our electronic newsletter, QUT News for Parents. To subscribe, send an email to parents@qut.com with 'subscribe' in the subject line. 

QUT's Parents brochure provides information about career outcomes, scholarships, study costs and student support, as well as answers to some common questions we receive from parents. Download a PDF version or request a copy by phoning 07 3138 8501 or email parents@qut.com

If you have any questions which are not answered on this website or through our newsletters, please feel free to email us on parents@qut.com - QUT's dedicated email service for parents.

real experiences

When I need help with my assignments or exams my parents are always there to lend a hand. Whether it be asking a practice question or proofreading, my parents are indispensable.

William Turner
Bachelor of Engineering (Infomechatronics)

For my first year my parents let me use one of their cars to get to the train station and back again. It is good to be able to come home to a cooked dinner as well.

Alan Underwood
Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Avionics)

My parents give me space when I need to do reports, assignments or study for exams.

Sarah Killey
Bachelor of Business (Economics)/Bachelor of Information Technology
