'QUT offered a practical and varied approach to learning that I found extremely beneficial. Some subjects had online weeks where the lecture and tutorial was delivered online—this prepared us for working within geographically dispersed teams, where the only way to meet is via online teleconferences. Practical assessments made it easier for me to apply my theoretical knowledge to situations I encountered at work.'
