Master the latest skills

My time at QUT was transformative, especially due to the Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) unit, which involved an internship, and the extensive practical assessments integrated into the curriculum. The opportunity to create real-world business strategies, such as internationalisation and global marketing plans for innovative technology like AI, was invaluable. These experiences have not only prepared me for the challenges of the global business environment but have also instilled a profound understanding of how theoretical knowledge is applied in real-world scenarios

Double your opportunities

'What I love about my double degree is how these two fields complement each other so perfectly, giving me two lenses through which to view the world: marketing and communication. In marketing, I become a player in the game, bringing a subjective, business-oriented perspective to the table and creating actionable plans that can truly impact consumers and companies. But as a student of communication, I step back and analyse situations from an objective perspective.'
