New perspectives
'The benefit of QUT You is that you get to learn with students from various faculties, combining perspectives in a topic of your choosing. It allows for a unique opportunity to collaborate and connect with others and hear from perspectives across differing workforces. Being a health student, for the most part, means I am only ever really in class with others who share similar opinions and views as me. QUT You allowed me to meet students from other faculties and hear from their perspectives to inform my future practice and incorporate diversity into my studies.'

Curiosity and growth
'I've been involved as a student partner in the development of QUT You and see it as an exciting opportunity to learn about developments outside of your own student area. For example, AI is often seen as a potential threat for the arts, but with QUT You can interact with the technology and explore the possibilities. This is your chance to go outside your comfort zone. Use the experience to learn something you usually wouldn't.'
