International students from more than 134 countries contribute to our friendly, safe and multicultural community, bringing global perspectives and enhancing the university experience.
Why choose UQ? Watch this great video made by UQ student Nick Zhuo. Nick is currently studying a Master of Interaction Design.
Nick came to Australia to do a year of study abroad at UQ, after doing three years of Mechanical Engineering at the South China University of Technology (SCUT).
UQ and SCUT have a partnership program [PDF] that allows third year students to undertake their final year of a Bachelor of Engineering as a Study Abroad student at UQ.
Students who successfully complete their UQ Study Abroad year area awarded an engineering degree from their home institution and are eligible to apply for a Master of Engineering Science at UQ.
Nick is graduating in June 2012, and he says his degree at UQ has been instrumental in helping him find his current job.
"UQ is a great university. I always dreamt of becoming a product designer, and my degree at UQ has helped me find my current job at Tecent in China."
Nick's video was one of the entries for the 2011 student video competion from the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology.
