GREAT
CAREERS
UQ qualifications are highly regarded by
Australian and international employers.
In the 2012 Employer Review of the QS
rankings of world universities, UQ was ranked
51st for graduate employability. In Australia,
our graduates enjoy an employment rate 6.7
per cent higher than the national average and
with higher starting salaries.
UQ develops future leaders who can
take their place in an increasingly globalised
workforce, graduates who are job-ready
with the fundamental skills needed to thrive
in the 21st century.
HIGHLY
AWARDED
TEACHERS
Since 1997, UQ has won 88 Australian
Learning and Teaching Council awards
and citations for its quality teaching
practice and outstanding contributions
to student learning, more than any other
university in the country.
UQ also has a 100 per cent success rate
in the Carrick Citations for Outstanding
Contributions to Student Learning, which
recognise teaching excellence in higher
education; a student-centred approach to
learning that is enhanced by flexible options,
a strong online program, and innovative
teaching modes; and more than 2800 highly
qualified academic staff dedicated to teaching
and research, many of whom are recognised
internationally as leaders in their fields.
The University of Queensland’s Study
Abroad and Incoming Exchange
programs provide you with the exciting
opportunity to gain an international
perspective on your education at a
leading Australian university with a
reputation for teaching and research.
As a student already enrolled at an
accredited university outside of Australia,
the Study Abroad and Incoming Exchange
programs allow you to explore your interests
and talents through studying at UQ for one
or two semesters.
If admitted to these programs, you are
not awarded a degree from UQ – instead,
credit for studies that you successfully
complete here may be transferred to your
degree in your home institution.
You can choose from more than 4000
high-quality courses, with many offering
theoretical or practical components unique
to UQ. Many courses focus on Australian
topics or offer field trips to unique locations
in South-East Queensland, while others
promote group project work or research
opportunities.
Studying at UQ as a Study Abroad or
Incoming Exchange student is not only
intellectually rewarding, it is also about
personal development, meeting new people
and experiencing the Australian culture first-
hand.
The University provides you with many
opportunities to participate in cultural,
educational and recreational activities. You
can also mix study with travel and take
advantage of Brisbane’s location as the
gateway to all of the tourist destinations that
make Queensland famous.
