PRACTICALEXPERIENCES
Choosing practical study options
– field trips and industry placements
included – will help you emerge
from UQ with the skills and
knowledge you need to boost your
career and meet the demands of
today’s workplace.
“Hands-on” experiences range from
one-hour experiments to work
placements of more than a thousand
hours. You might work in a campus
laboratory, on an island, or down a
mine. You may go to another country.
Or you might just visit a public art gallery.
Whatever the experience, all are
designed to give you a taste of your
future career, and help you make valuable
industry contacts.
WORLD-CLASS
FACILITIES
UQ is constantly upgrading its teaching
facilities to meet the needs of both
students and industry.
We have one of the fastest and most
advanced information networks in the world,
one of the best research libraries in the
country, and modern teaching spaces that
enable the use of the latest technology, such
as individual touch screens and devices
for tablets/smart phones and recording
mechanisms.
Our active building program reflects
our commitment to providing high-quality,
sustainable facilities, with the opening of
the Learning Innovation building and work
progressing on structures such as the Oral
Health Centre at Herston.
