I’m Carlie Nielsen, I’m currently studying my Graduate Diploma in Oncology Nursing.

The great thing about QUT is that you can build upon your education.  So I started with my Graduate Certificate in Cancer Nursing then I had a break, focused on my family and then I came back and I’m currently doing my Graduate Diploma in Cancer Nursing. And then if I choose to do my masters I can actually use my credits that I’ve earned through the last two courses and they will be applied to my masters in nursing.

The flexibility that QUT has offered me to study externally has been fabulous. It’s allowed me to focus on the things that are important to me in life such as my work, my study and also my family.

Interaction with the lecturers has been very very easy. With the email, with the telephoning and also with teleconferencing it’s been very simple.

QUT offers a vast range of specialist areas to study in within nursing. The lecturers here and the university have a great reputation. They have lecturers that are world renowned and well known, and well respected within the nursing community.
