Connect with industry

'During my course I've had the opportunity to visit construction sites with QUT Construct Club and meet industry professionals working in the field. I am now working with BriStar Group as part of their quantity surveying internship program. QUT’s teaching staff are supportive and approachable, and have helped to boost my confidence in the classroom and the workplace.'

Real-world projects

'The project-oriented nature of the QUT courses has given me a great understanding of engineering work in the real world. I worked on a project to test if a particular probiotic could be produced at a large scale for industry, and on another project to see if a particular telecommunications technology is feasible for the marketplace.'
