It also gave me a great network of friends who I still remain in contact with and have helped shape my business.’

A real, competitive advantage
‘My exchange to Singapore Management University was a highlight of my degree and gave me skills, insights and experience, as well as a competitive advantage employment-wise. Developing cultural intelligence is a core outcome for students and through my exchange experience I feel I’ve developed a firm base to build upon for working in today’s globally integrated world.’
Triple crown accreditation
‘Receiving the Triple Crown Scholarship was a nice surprise. It assisted me financially, and motivated me to strive to do my best. I chose QUT because of its triple crown accreditation and its flexible and practical courses. Also, the support services here are fantastic and the lecturers and tutors are very helpful.’
