『Brisbane』《Study》The introduction of QUT, EAP course, and Orientation Week!
Queensland University of
Technology (QUT)
- a university for the real worldToday I am going to introduce my wonderful university, Queensland University of Technology(QUT). Actually, I applied two universities that are QUT and UQ (University of Queensland) before I came to Australia and got two offers luckily. It is true that there are many excellent universities in Australia, however, the first reason that I applied these two universities is WEATHER. I definitely love Brisbane’s weather (and I am afraid of cold... haha).
Next, I will explain why I chose QUT but not UQ and also share some experience in EAP course where many Asian people or non-native students would entry before they enter in normal courses. Finally, I would like to share some interesting stories about my first orientation week in Australia!
◎Why QUT?
First of all, although many people think that UQ’s ranking is better than QUT’s. However, QUT is also top 10 Australian university and it always maintains its world university rankings within 300! (For example, in Taiwan, only National Taiwan University is ranked within 100 stably)
Secondly, I major in Business and QUT’s business school is Australia's first business school to earn all three symbols of excellence from the world's leading accrediting bodies (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, European Quality Improvement System, and The Association of MBAs), holding the triple crown since 2005. Less than 1% of all business schools globally have achieved triple accreditation!
Thirdly, QUT is as known as “a university for the real world” because they focus on practical education and cooperate with businesses closely.
Fourthly, the student number of QUT is approximately 45,000 and there are more than 5 thousand international students. It is a really good environment for students to share their different opinions or thought and build their perfect social network!
Finally, QUT locates in Brisbane city, students can find many job opportunities and enjoy the convenience here.
To sum up, educational quality, practicality, internationalization, and convenience are main critical reasons for me to choose QUT!

◎What is EAP course?
EAP means English for Academic Purpose and it is established for students whose English levels are between IELTS 5.5 to 6.5 because most of Australian university accept applications with IELTS 6.5. However, students who have already achieved this requirement can also apply this course for improving English level in academic field.

You can easily meet students from
non-English-speaking countries and make many Chinese, Asian, Brazilian friends and so
on.
This was EAP’s course schedule and the percentage of
tests. Actually, it was not an easy job for non-English speakers and we also had
many homework every day during this period. Class time was 8:30 to 15:00 or
16:00 except for Wednesday (until 13:00). The tests would start to be counted
after week 7 and most of the students had to get 65% or 50% score to pass this
course.
There are many new and useful public spaces or
facilities in P block (Kelvin Grove Campus) such as rest rooms, ILC library, computer rooms and so
on. They also supply microwaves for students who bring lunch every day. It is so
considerate!
I was so lucky to meet these two great teachers,
Kay and Tim, and wonderful international students from China, Thailand, India,
Brazil. We acquired useful knowledge for our faculty lives and enjoyed many delightful
moments together. Wish everyone nice futures sincerely!!!
◎About
Orientation Week!
There are many differences in orientation week between
Taiwan’s and Australia’s. I think that students here can have more useful and
practical information which include introductions of finding part time jobs or
career development and so on during this week but not just following some same unchangeable
schedules like it in Taiwan. Furthermore, it is also a good chance for students
to learn how to seize various information and develop their social networks
actively!
This was an international student orientation
which gave lots of useful support to us. By the way, this picture shows how
much international students that QUT has… haha
During this week, I could easily join in
interesting clubs and participate in official concert. It was so amazing and
convenient that every student could grab the schedule of these numerous events in
orientation week in one website! Nice integration!
Finally, let me share this picture of the
welcoming event that Taiwanese Students Association held. We are all from the
same lovely country, Taiwan!
Such a great articles in my carrier, It's wonderful commands like easiest understand words of knowledge in information's.
