Testimonials
- Keleabetswe Loeto (Botswana)
Bachelor of Business (Public Relations and Advertising)
"I like the cultural diversity that is typical of Australia. I chose Brisbane for its easy-going lifestyle, the beautiful weather and the accessibility of the coast and beaches. The lecturers have been very supportive, offering assistance during class time as well as one-on-one consultations. Accommodation assistance is handy. Assignment assistance is excellent. It was not hard to adjust to life in Brisbane at all. There was always someone willing to help, and this helped to get me settled in quickly. I met new people at the orientation sessions at university, as well as the mentor program at the International College. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The social life is excellent too."

"I chose QUT because I wanted to study in Australia, and I'd heard the lecturers had a lot of practical experience in their respective fields. My studies are varied and very interesting. They're applied to life situations, and not just dictated out of a book. The lecturers and tutors were extremely welcoming and supportive. I like the weather and the proximity to the beach, mountains and islands. The nightlife and sporting opportunities are good. The people are friendly. I like everything about Brisbane."

When I go back to my home I can apply the theories, knowledge and experiences of my lecturers."
