'QUT’s real world positioning is not simply a tagline but something the university delivers on. Their industry mentorship program kick-started my career by connecting me with a senior media professional. This contact led to my first opportunity in the industry as a media assistant at an agency I had dreamt of working at after seeing their building nearly every day when travelling between the Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove campuses.'
Managing Director at OMD Australia, Bachelor of Business (Marketing and Advertising)/Bachelor of Creative Industries graduate
Real-world learning
'My lecturers and tutors at QUT were brilliant at tying in real-world examples to the content they were teaching. They would often refer to their professional experiences in the industry and provide tangible examples of how the theory we were learning in class worked in the real world and was applied in their careers. As a student, you’re often not yet exposed to these things, so having these real-life examples made the content more relatable and helped us comprehend it better.'
Bachelor of Business (Marketing) graduate
Expertise from industry
'The teaching staff at QUT were brilliant. They not only went above and beyond in answering questions and offering support, but they also brought their real-world experience and knowledge to the classroom. Having worked in the industry themselves, they were able to provide current and relatable examples of the content they were teaching. There was never a dull moment, and their passion for marketing was inspiring.'
Bachelor of Business (Marketing) graduate
Valuable industry connections
'QUT has forged partnerships with local businesses and organisations, giving students like me the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and apply our skills in the real world. I've had the chance to work on projects for real clients, which has helped me build my portfolio and given me a taste of what it's like to work in the industry. The co-curricular programs and initiatives offered by QUT have also been invaluable in enhancing my employability and networking skills.'
Bachelor of Business (Marketing) and Bachelor of Communication student
Practical learning
'QUT's focus on practical learning is unparalleled. During my degree I solved real world problems for clients, both inside and outside the classroom. I designed branded products for subjects such as QUTopia, and travelled to six countries to study and to compete in business competitions.'
Bachelor of Business (Marketing) graduate
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.'
Bachelor of Business (Marketing)/Bachelor of Information Technology (Computer Science)
Tailor your studies
'One aspect of my course that I particularly enjoy is the range of elective options offered. These electives allow students to tailor their studies according to their desired professional environment. I opted for a course on Entertainment Marketing in a Digital World, aligning with my interest in the influence of social media on the marketing industry. I found this elective incredibly valuable and foresee its applicability in my future endeavours.'

Passion for marketing
‘QUT made me realise what my passion was and at the same time prepared me to work in this industry. The lecturers and tutors have a real passion for what they do and the subjects they work on. There is plenty of theory I learnt at QUT that I later used at Nestle in presentations to major Australian retailers.’
Be inspired, learn and grow
'My advice to other students would be not to be afraid and to take the opportunity to try new things and meet new people. Your time at QUT is a chance to shape both your experience and your future, so make the most of it. QUT is very welcoming, and there’s lots of support; you will not be alone.'
