The University of Queensland

I like that they have tailored particular parts of the program to the Canadian students as we are the majority of our program. They have a lot of resources and help for international students at UQ. There are ‘heaps’ of other Canadians at UQ, especially in the health care professions.

I chose The University of Queensland to pursue my education because I have always wanted to study abroad and experience Australian culture in a fun and positive way. The University of Queensland stood out to me after I learned about the comprehensive content of my degree as well as the exciting campus life. I learned that UQ has a reputation built on research, and evidence-based-practice is something that is very meaningful to me. UQ pretty much checked off all the boxes in terms of what I was looking for in a university!

I certainly enjoy the fact that all of my professors are passionate and kind people! Their skills and teaching techniques have blown me away, not to mention their experience and encouraging nature. Not only is the teaching staff great, but I have also found that the campus life at UQ is outstanding. There are always exciting gatherings and social events taking place around campus, and I find that UQ really does try and promote a healthy study and life balance.

I would most definitely recommend my degree at UQ to others. I find that UQ has provided me with expansive and relevant knowledge in my field already, and I’m only half way through my degree! The teaching staff are very welcoming and supportive, and they are with you 100% of the way. I appreciate how friendly everyone around campus is, and I’ve always felt right at home here.

UQ is beautiful, the teachers have been amazing, the curriculum is interesting, and the coordinators have been very accommodating for helping Canadian students keep on top of our placement hours. It’s an AMAZING experience, I’m having a great time the school is better than I imagined and I felt comfortable right away, the transition was much easier than I had expected.

UQ is a highly regarded university that has many international students. The professors are very accommodating and take all students opinions into consideration.  University life is much more pleasant and enjoyable in Australia. People are very friendly, which makes moving to Australia quite easy, being away from home!

I really like UQ’s campus. It is absolutely beautiful and there’s plenty of green space where you can sit and hang out. The professors at UQ in the Speech Pathology program are wonderful and most of them take an interest in you as a student. The University of Queensland is a wonderful university with a beautiful campus and is extremely advanced in terms of its use of technology (ie. Apple Computers in all the libraries and study rooms!). The program is really small, with a class size of 28 students and we have all become extremely close. The program is great because it allows us to apply our skills right away starting in Semester 1 of year 1 when we begin our first clinic placement. It is a wonderful way to apply what we have learned so far, especially in the early stages of our studies.

Beautiful campus, great classmates, lovely how they help with hours for Canadian students!  It’s a great opportunity to study speech abroad and experience life in a new place. 

I love how diverse it is and I find my program very interesting. I am not a fan of the humidity…. UQ is a beautiful campus, and it’s huge! My program is very interesting, but pretty intense. All in all, it’s a great learning experience and I’m so glad I’m here!
