UNIVERSITY LIFE
The best part about studying abroad is experiencing a different culture, so QUT offers a range of recreational services to ensure students make the most of all aspects of campus life.
Why not join one of QUT’s 70 different clubs such as abseiling, diving, bushwalking, cycling, and rollerblading, just to name a few…or get involved in a rugby league or cricket team and learn more about the local sporting culture. Take full advantage of our on-campus facilities and swim in the indoor swimming pool, or use the squash and netball courts, gymnasiums, athletic fields, or health and fitness centres.
Brisbane is the ideal city to base yourself to discover all the wonders of the east coast of Queensland. Just an hour south of Brisbane is the world famous Gold Coast with its famed beaches, theme parks, shopping and dining. Head an hour and a half north of Brisbane to the Sunshine coast for a quieter pace. QUT’s International Student Services organises short trips and weekend activities for international students. Trips include surfing at Stradbroke Island, hiking in Lamington National Park and shopping in Noosa. All trips are made for the budget conscious student with prices set to cover the cost of running the trip.
