MATES@UQ
Student Services coordinates the
Mates@UQ program, which encourages
social and academic networks between
Australian and international students.
A great way to meet new people from many
different countries, you can take part in a
range of social and learning activities, and
maybe develop your foreign language skills
as well.

QUEST
The Queensland University Exchange
Student Society (QUEST) aims to
showcase the best UQ and Queensland
have to offer by providing events for
exchange, international and domestic
students. Our events highlight cultural
heritage and scenically beautifully
places, while making sure everyone has
a whole lot of fun!
Events run throughout the University year
and include regular informal pub and movie
nights. QUEST also organises a number
of day trips with destinations including
Stradbroke Island, Noosa (for surf lessons),
and the Natural Arch in the Gold Coast
hinterland (where you can see glow worms!).
QUEST runs weekend trips to Byron Bay,
Girraween National Park and Moreton
Island.
QUEST is made up of over a thousand
Questies from all over the world. Questies
are enthusiastic, interesting and diverse
people, and make QUEST one of the most
vibrant and fun clubs on campus!
