Hi my name's Todd. I’m doing a Research Honours degree in Business at QUT. I’d recommend a research honours degree because it gives you an edge over other undergraduate students. It also enables you to undertake an in-depth study into an area that you’re interested in.

My research is about why companies choose to enter certain countries. I was chosen to participate in a QUT study trip to Malaysia, where we interviewed the manager of a Malaysian coffee company. I was able to use the data from that interview and springboard into my own research degree back here at QUT.

As an honours research student, QUT has given me a desk, so I have a home base here at uni. I have a phone and I have a computer that I can work from, or I can choose to work from home. I have two supervisors who have provided me with excellent support for my research topic.

I also really enjoy the research element of the honours degree. It has equipped me with a raft of new skills which I can take into the real world. I’m hoping to become an international consultant and advise companies looking to expand their businesses globally.
