South East Asian students enjoy a variety of social, academic and English language support through International Student Services and the International Student Association.
Public Health Program in Vietnam The QUT Faculty of Health has a close relationship with the Hanoi School of Public Health. Since 2001, academic staff from both institutions have worked closely together on building curriculum, research and specialised training courses. Our work has focused particularly on health social sciences, occupational health, biostatistics and health information systems. Postgraduate students from Hanoi have enrolled in Masters and PhD programs at QUT. There are many opportunities for student exchanges and mutual recognition of courses.

Bachelor of Education Studies (Primary TEFL), QUT for the Ministry of Education, Malaysia QUT and the Ministry of Education Malaysia signed an agreement in 2001 to provide a four-year Link Degree program to develop teachers for the teaching of English as a Foreign Language in Malaysia .
