International engagement

Picture of students

QUT has nearly 6700 international students from more than 90 countries, out of a total student population of 40,000. International students make important contributions to QUT and the wider community, particularly by enhancing cultural and social diversity.

Faculties are encouraged to build international components into their teaching programs and to participate in international research initiatives and projects.

From 2009, language programs will be delivered through an alliance between QUT, the University of Queensland and Griffith University.

QUT employs staff members from many countries. Most of our academic staff have worked offshore and have international qualifications.

QUT pursues international development project and consultancy opportunities.

Through our international visitor program we also welcome many visitors annually from institutions, government and private organisations.

QUT's international engagement is led by the QUT International office. The University has established links with more than 100 institutions worldwide to facilitate academic collaboration, student exchanges and study abroad.

The University provides dedicated support services for all international students, including counselling, accommodation and employment assistance, university orientation, airport reception, language and learning advice, and recreational activities.
