The best opportunity to compete in the job market

'Before starting at QUT, I completed a coding boot camp which I really enjoyed and made me reconsider the industry I was working in. I decided to go back to study and not having the necessary qualifications to enter directly into the Bachelors, QUT College’s Diploma of Information Technology was the perfect way to get my start into learning more about coding. Once I complete the diploma, I will look to complete a Bachelor of Computer Science at QUT which will give me the best opportunity to compete in the job market.'

I wanted to explore a career working in galleries and museums

'I decided to attend QUT College because I wanted to explore a career working in galleries and museums and thought that a great place to start would be through the Diploma of Creative Industries. I love that the College has most classes and tutorials in the same building, making it very convenient. I also enjoy the ability to access all the e-content and extra materials and lessons that help guide us through assessments. After the diploma, I will look to transition into the Bachelor of Creative Industries.'
