Description: With enrollment around 40,000, QUT is one of Australia's largest universities. Queensland University of Technology has over 5,000 international students representing over 100 nationalities, which makes for a very diverse learning environment. QUT has earned a reputation as a 'university for the real world' due to their close links with industry, relevant teaching, and applied research. QUT offers a large number of courses within many academic disciplines. QUT is located in the heart of the Brisbane city center, alongside the scenic Brisbane River and City Botanic Gardens, two of Brisbane's most famous landmarks. Brisbane is one of Australia's most beautiful regions offering a blend of chic lifestyles, vibrant cultural life, a subtropical climate, and access to some of the most beautiful natural features in Australia.

QUT was Australia's inaugural winner of the Good Universities Guide's 'University of the Year' award for Teaching and Learning. Today, the University continues to develop its teaching and research in ways that will benefit our local and international communities. Many QUT staff members have either worked overseas or have obtained international qualifications. With more than 150 years of university teaching experience behind them, they have established long-standing close relationships with employers and professions. These partnerships keep the University's teaching and research relevant to industry needs.

Highlights: The Study Australia program includes a 5-day group orientation (for most of our sites), guaranteed, fully furnished, and prearranged housing for your entire stay, a Resident Director, and much more.

Study Australia offers students the chance to travel throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji before heading to their host campus. These optional trips provide the comfort of a group atmosphere along with trained guides from highly reputable tour providers that specialize in student travel.

Fall Semester participants can choose between two tour options. Bond University participants may join Study Australia on a 4-day Fiji Island Adventure. Other Fall semester participants can explore the Great Barrier Reef and Tropical North Queensland.

Spring Semester participants can participate on three additional pre-semester trips. Students can explore the natural wonders and extreme activities on a 7-day venture through the South Island of New Zealand. Surf through a 6-day trip from Sydney to Byron Bay stopping at some of the most pristine beaches in Australia. Explore Tropical Far North Queensland and the city of Cairns, where the reef meets the rainforest, on this 7-day trip.
