Queensland University of Technology encompasses two campuses, one located alongside a river in Brisbane and the other ten miles north of the city. Each offers courses in particular academic disciplines, but regular shuttle buses that run between the two campuses mean that students can enroll in courses at both campuses. Participants will choose from an exceptional range of courses offered in engineering, business, communications, fashion, performing arts, education, health, information technology, law, science and visual arts. Students can expect to take courses totaling sixteen credits per semester--typically four courses.
