Changes to courses

We regularly review our courses to ensure they meet the needs of students, employers, professional bodies and research. As a result we often offer new courses and sometimes withdraw, or make changes to, existing programs.

Here's a summary of the latest course changes for 2013, unless indicated otherwise. While many of the changes below will also be applicable to international students, all international students should contact QUT International for further information.
