Location
QUT's two campuses – Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove– are located in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland. Gardens Point is the only full-service university campus in Brisbane's central business district. Situated on the Brisbane River, adjacent to the City Botanic Gardens and Queensland's Parliament House, the location reinforces QUT's links with business and industry while creating a dynamic environment for students. The campus is linked with South Bank Parklands by the Goodwill Bridge (a pedestrian and bicycle bridge).
Known as QUT's "hilltop" campus, Kelvin Grove is situated on a leafy rise just two kilometers from the city center and is only 10 minutes from the Gardens Point campus via the free student shuttle bus. The Kelvin Grove campus has become the hub of innovative space and enterprise, housing the QUT Creative Industries Precinct and the award-winning Kelvin Grove Urban Village.
Academic Highlights
Study areas at the Gardens Point campus include: business, engineering, law and justice, and science and technology. Study areas at the Kelvin Grove campus include: creative industries (communication, performing arts, multimedia, fashion, film and television) education, health, and justice studies.
Guaranteed Housing
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad students are guaranteed pre-arranged accommodation at QUT. There are a variety of housing options available which you will apply for after acceptance. Options include pre-arranged accommodations without meals and housing arranged upon arrival by student.
About GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Programs
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs are created with individual student's goals in mind. Our programs are built around a unique Discovery Model which is delivered by our amazing staff, both in the U.S. and overseas. Our Discovery Model provides every student with an individualized experience through discovery in 5 key areas: personal, academic, cultural, social, and professional. Our North American staff counsels each student through the application and enrollment process, and our on-site Resident Coordinators set up a calendar of activities for students related to each area of discovery. These activities are more than just tourist excursions, and include opportunities like networking events, local festivals, gallery openings, and other similar events that you can't find in a travel book.
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs include everything you would expect in a study abroad program: guaranteed housing, 24-hour in-country support, an in-country multi-day orientation program, comprehensive pre-departure services, excursions, and discovery activities to make the most out of each student's experience. Students of all majors are welcome to apply and scholarships are available.
In addition to our multi-day Bridging Cultures Orientation Program, GlobaLinks Learning Abroad includes excursions in our Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji semester/year abroad programs. Each participant can choose one of the following four exciting excursions: Legian Beach in Bali, Queenstown and Milford sound in New Zealand, a Fiji island resort, or the Whitsundays in Australia! All tour costs are included, and all you have to do is get yourself to the departure point.
