Elisha's scholarship story

'I picked my double degree at QUT because I love business and technology, and QUT focuses on real-world experience. As part of my Westpac Young Technologists Scholarship, I was lucky to attend the Westpac Scholar's Summit in Sydney. Next year, I'll be going to Singapore for the Disruptive Leaders Program as part of this scholarship. I really recommend making the most of all the resources, scholarships, and opportunities QUT offers, like joining clubs and getting involved.'

About this scholarship

Double your opportunities

'I thoroughly enjoyed the practical components of my double degree, which involved developing marketing campaigns and software solutions for Queensland businesses. Along with the opportunity to expand my technical and business skill sets, these experiences taught me the value of stakeholder management and the importance of utilising my soft skills to build rapport with business partners. I still implement the lessons I've learnt through these experiences within my career.'

Think IT. Think QUT.

Our IT degree is well-recognised both locally and globally. We provide students with a unique educational experience, balancing practice and theory with industry-driven projects.

Double your skills

'Studying a double degree really broadens your career horizons and opens the door to so many more possibilities than a single degree. Most double degrees are only an extra year of study, so it's a good option if you’re having difficulty picking just one study area.'

Why choose this course?
