THE SMART ADVANTAGE
SMART courses
make a recognised, informative, practical and relevant addition to any
program. We incorporate regular field trips, guest
lectures, competitions, and, practical exercises (such as an
emissions trading simulation) into our courses. We aim to keep
course information current and cutting-edge through our
consultation with SMART industry partners. You will also be presented with the opportunity to
network with key leaders in this space.

UQ has a working relationship with
the Australian Institute of Sustainable Enterprise Management (AISEM)
and is in the process of aligning UQ courses with their
certification criteria. We are currently developing an agreement
whereby students who complete UQ courses will receive an
Advanced Diploma in Business Management from AISEM. We also plan
to offer this option to students outside the university e.g. to
workplaces in an intensive course format. As a student of the
Bachelor of Business Degree (Sustainable Enterprise Management)
or a student enrolled in any SMART elective you may
be eligible to participate in an internship arranged with one of SMART`s partners,
for example; Billabong, ARUP, QR, Freedoms Fuels
and RACQ. Internships provide a vital link between theory and
knowledge learnt at UQ and real world application within
industry.
