Testimonials

A stepping stone to my future career

I received the merit scholarship which enabled me to start my journey studying at QUT. It also removed the financial burden on my parents which was a big help. QUT staff were very helpful and supportive, always there to help you. I really enjoy the practical aspects of my studies preparing me for the real world. QUT has a great diversity of people and skills of whom you can learn a lot from. This is part of a great experience which I’m very thankful for.
