Watch this before you study at The University of Queensland? (University of Queensland Review)

It's been a couple of years since I last visited the University of Queensland, and I'm wondering what's changed.
But even more so, I'm wondering what kind of person would be best suited to studying here?
Because yes, it is a prestigious institution.
And yes, it has strong research and academic teaching programs.
But what about everything else?
Does UQ really give students an opportunity to become well-rounded? Is student life good here? Are there jobs and accommodation nearby?
These are all questions I'm looking to answer... because they are important questions for YOU to understand if you're going to be sure the UQ is the uni for you!

Thanks for the great video. Currently trying to decide between UQ and Oxford so it was great to get some info and a bit of a look round the campus.

Glad to hear it Allie. I studied in Oxford some years ago. Very different experience to Queensland. People are more relaxed in Queensland and the weather is MUCH better. But the history and academics at Oxford are top notch!

I have been to Australia for 6 years (before the Covid-19). Which started in UQ in 2017. UQ is the most beautiful uni in Qld, it both did very well on the academic and wonderful environment, and that's why I choose UQ. Thank you for your video that I look back on my uni life, and I am so happy to see the new updates on campus.

Thank you for making a video about UQ! May I ask, if I want to study physiotherapy, which university, UQ (in Brisbane) or UniSA (in Adelaide), do you think is better in terms of the allied health course, facilities, and the learning environment?

@ChoosingYourUni 2 жыл бұрын

Ah that's a tricky one. Both unis have good allied health programs - UQ has a better campus life imo (physio is at City East at UniSA, which is more or less just a building - not the awesome huge campus that UQ has) but UniSA is right in the heart of Adelaide. If it were me, based on my interests and preferences, I'd probably go to UQ if I could. I love Brisbane as a city (though Adelaide is great too).

Hi Rob I have previously spent 2 semesters in Australia during undergrad, and am considering a graduate diploma as I can get some financial aid - and lack some IT skills to advance into the roles in the software industry I work in. I know UQ is comprehensive and there are other universities with a more distinct technology focus like Curtin, UniSA, and QUT where they have GDIP in IT options. But this time I want to try a Go8 and Brisbane is my top choice. UQ offers more course variety in their IT program aswell. 1: Do you think a GDIP in IT would not be a worthy investment? I am not looking to compete CompSci graduates but want grow more knowledgeable in a commercial role. 2. Should I toss away the more sentimental aspect of trying a Go8 environment even though IT is not necessarily their main discipline? Brisbane is my preferred city and also has part time options to work. Thanks for your work

@ChoosingYourUni 10 ай бұрын

Sorry, totally missed this question. This all depends on your priorities. IT skills (particularly in emerging disciplines like AI and cybersecurity) will alsways be good choices. I love Brisbane as a student city, so reckon UQ is a good option.

Yeah Toowong is a good option. The other option if you can find a place reasonably priced is West End or Dutton Park so you can walk across the bridge to the uni.

I'm from the U.S. and I've become very interested in going to Uni in Australia, UQ being at the top of my list so far. The main differences I don't understand are 1)How do the colleges work? I see that you can apply to specific housing called colleges at UQ and they have their own websites, I don't really get what they are for or if they are the equivalent to dorms in the America. 2) Do most people live on/near campus like in america?

@ChoosingYourUni 2 жыл бұрын

These are all excellent universities and are similar in that they are all high-ranking, research intensive institutions. All have excellent courses, facilities and student support. Probably the biggest difference is between the three cities, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne - Brisbane the most affordable city (and the most liveable, in my personal view). Sydney and Melbourne much larger and home to more work opportunities.
