Prepared for the real world
'The only constant is change and I think QUT not only equips us with the right knowledge but with the right attitude to learn constantly and be aware of how the world is reacting to our field of study. From researching real-world problems of the theories we learn to actually engaging in debates over these problems, we become more prepared for what the real world has in store for us.'

Hands-on learning
'All the theory you learn in a lecture or a workshop, is then applied to the practical or the laboratory that you’ll do either that week or within a couple of weeks of learning the theory. The degree is very applicable to what you’d expect in the workforce.'
