Welcome to a university
for the real world
A GUIDE TO UNDERGRADUATE STUDY 2020
With technology moving so quickly, what kinds of challenges
does a university for the real world focus on? The challenges
that affect us all. How we care for each other and the
environment. How we work. How we play.
The real world is a place of constant change. Robotics
and data are coming of age. Biofabrication and artificial
intelligence are evolving. And they’re inviting us to think
outside the box. Be more agile. More prepared for the jobs of
today, and the jobs that are yet to be invented.
Real choices for
a changing world
QUT courses will give you the skills to thrive in the real world.
Read on to see how we’ll prepare you for the future, and
explore courses and experiences that are open to you at QUT.
There’s a Match My Skills quiz you can take too.
Take the quiz to find a future that
matches your interests and skills.

Your new life
starts now
QUT is a young university. You can feel that energy
from the moment you walk onto campus. The
buildings are spacious, open and collaborative. The
facilities are state of the art. Not just the labs and
studios, but the swimming pools, tennis courts and
athletics track.
The fun starts from day one. There’s more to uni than
study. There are barbeques, concerts and clubs to
join. This is where you’ll form friendships that can last
a lifetime.
There’s a great sense of community at QUT too.
Students who have travelled from overseas,
interstate or outside of Brisbane feel right at home
here. And so will you.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands where QUT now
stands, pay respect to their Elders—past, present and emerging—and
acknowledge the important role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
people continue to play within the QUT community.

A crash course
in saving lives
Do you have what it takes? There’s one way
to find out—testing your skills in a real-
life situation. Paramedic science students
undertake unique training exercises such as
these trauma and road accident simulations.
They work alongside ambulance, fire and
emergency services officers, assessing the
situation and devising a plan for saving
wounded participants.

right in
What does real world really mean? Well it’s about giving you
practical skills to support the theory. So when you graduate,
you can step into your career and perform with confidence.
You’ll learn from teaching staff who are industry leaders. They’re
smart, inspiring, exceptional. We’re not just saying that, they have
the awards to prove it. Courses are taught by full-time academic
staff alongside part-time lecturers and tutors who are working in
the field and bring real experiences and contacts to the classroom.
Graduate with the skills you need. During your course, you’ll
undertake hands-on learning in our labs, studios and clinics, and
through simulations and real projects. You can also gain work
experience with an organisation in your field. This will give you a real
sense of what it’s going to be like working with real deadlines and
think-on-your-feet situations that get your adrenaline pumping.

university rankings.
A QUT qualification really takes you places. With a solid
international reputation, your degree will be well regarded by
employers in Australia and across the globe.
Combine study and travel. Want to study economics in Hong
Kong, engineering in Germany, or design in the UK? QUT has
exchange agreements with more than 200 partner institutions in
43 countries across the world.
There’s no need to wait until you graduate. Each year, more than
1700 students take off on an international experience related to
their degree. Many receive scholarships and financial support to
help with expenses.
Take on
the world
A QUT exchange is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where you can:
• go overseas for one or two semesters
• boost your career opportunities
• earn credit towards your QUT degree
• build up your international contacts.
Short-term study programs during semester breaks are popular
too. How about observing healthcare practices in Taiwan or a
two-week winter program with a partner university in Denmark?
It’s all possible.

9Did fake news start with
Zuckerberg or Gutenberg?
Manipulating the news is nothing new. It’s been happening since Gutenberg’s
printing press. But there seems to be greater fear of fake news than ever before.
Is the influence of Facebook and Twitter as significant as some say? Or is this a
social media myth? QUT researchers are digging into the data to find out. In the
meantime, avoid being a victim of fake news with these steps—check the source is a
recognised news organisation, find references to the story on a mainstream media
site and see if it’s been reported by several news agencies. Keep your news real.
10The future
belongs to
the curious
If you have a passion for discovery and innovation, you’re in the
right place. Research and a determination to discover real-world
solutions is in our DNA.
Our researchers are developing solutions for issues facing
Australia and the global community and their work is recognised
as world standard. Our research strengths and priorities include:
• biomedical engineering • health systems
• biomolecular science • injury prevention
• business technology • materials science
• chronic disease • plant biotechnology
• data science • robotics
• digital media • technology regulation.
• education
Want to be a part of it? Consider a research pathway during or at
the end of your degree. Or undertake research during uni holidays.
The Vacation Research Experience Scheme offers high-performing
students the opportunity to work alongside researchers and
contribute to a research project. It’s a great way to get involved and
see if research is for you.

Your future is in your hands. If there’s something you’re dreaming of,
see what you can do to make it yours. For example, combine business
with biomedical science for a career bringing health discoveries to the
marketplace.
Double your options with a double degree. Study two degrees at the
same time, saving time and money, and graduate with two qualifications
in as little as four years. A double degree can be a real competitive
advantage, giving you greater variety in your study and career
opportunities, plus friends and networks across two fields. You’ll study
the compulsory parts of both single degrees and use the optional units
from each degree to complete your second degree. This means you’ll
usually have the same number of subjects each semester as a single
degree student.
Explore different fields. Many of our courses offer individual elective
units, a minor (four units) or a second major (six to eight units). This
flexibility can help you to expand your knowledge into fields that your
degree doesn’t traditionally explore—making study more stimulating and
preparing you for a more agile future in the workforce.

More valuable than money
I was lucky enough to be awarded an academic scholarship. Honestly,
the money is only half the benefit—the real value of the scholarship
has been the countless opportunities to meet like-minded people
through activities such as the scholar’s camp. It’s given me an
amazing support network at uni from day one.

Inspiring others
I was playing in bands and knew I loved performing, but
I also wanted to share my passion for music with others.
Working as a classroom music teacher is very satisfying.
I love seeing my students understand music on a deeper
level and inspiring them to produce their own original music.

Early experience
I’ve only just started my course but already I’ve been in the QUT
nursing clinics practising giving medication to patient manikins
and maintaining health records, and I’m getting prepared for
my first placement. I’d recommend QUT to anyone who wants to
back up their theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
