The University of Queensland is the most prestigious university in my area and is also the only university offering languages within my course which was essential for me as I was wanting to do French. I applied for 3 different universities as there are 3 main universities in my area however the university of Queensland was my preferred one.

Course Curriculum

10

I think both the education faculty and HASS faculty as my university work very well to help you with anything you need. The education faculty is very good as replying to emails and I feel that the HASS faculty has some of the best tutors and lecturers.

Internship

The placement opportunities are great especially within the education department as you are sent on placement within your first year and I think this works well for teaching as you are experiencing your future job right from the get-go.

Fees

The tuition fee varies from course to course however if you are an Australian citizen you can apply for HECS or FEE-HELP which I have both. There are many scholarships for both domestic and international students which are readily available on the UQ website but there are also emails sent out from the faculty you are in when applications for new scholarships are available.

Faculty

8

Yes, they do offer on-campus jobs, there are many hospitality places on-campus where you can be employed but as well as this I know that certain faculties employ students as well as student services who also employ students.

Hostel

Luckily I live near the campus so I can live at home however many people live on campus and say they love it and get 3 meals a day included and snacks! The only challenge I face is that I have to travel for 45 minutes some days only to be a uni for an hour which can be frustrating but worth it as I am not financially capable of moving out.
