WELCOME
PRESIDENT AND
VICE-CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE
Travelling to study in another country is an exciting prospect. The international reputation of the university you
choose, the range and flexibility of its courses, the quality of facilities and support services, and the student
experience can all contribute to your success and your attractiveness to future employers.
Indeed, as digital technologies make it increasingly easy for employers and workers to connect, transact and
collaborate across geographies, students must be prepared to compete for work against a global market of
talent. An international study experience at a top university can develop the cultural awareness and acumen that
will be needed for successful collaboration in a globalised labour force.
Ranked in the world’s top 50, The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s and the world’s leading
research and teaching institutions. Our tradition of excellence spans more than a century, and we now have
more than 250,000 graduates in at least 170 countries.
UQ values its global network of international students who enhance the learning and cultural experiences of
all our students, as well as the broader community. About one in four UQ students is international, and we
welcome them from more than 140 nations.
Many of our staff have lived, studied or worked overseas, and we encourage a global perspective throughout
all aspects of teaching and research. We help our students to see the world differently; to see opportunities that
others don’t and to create change in the world by addressing issues of global importance.
UQ recognises the IES Foundation Year qualification, and students who achieve the specific standards are assured
a place in the first year of most of our undergraduate courses (quotas apply in a small number of courses).
I hope this prospectus assists you in your IES Foundation Year decision making and hope you will join UQ as a
student in future years.
Professor Peter Høj
PRESIDENT AND VICE-CHANCELLOR, THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND
WELCOME TO IES COLLEGE
Congratulations on taking the first step on your pathway to success!
International Education Services (IES) has a proud history of preparing international students for The University
of Queensland through our foundation and English language programs. Since 1997, more than 8,000 students
have continued on to study undergraduate degrees as diverse as Business Management, Economics and
Journalism through to Engineering, Pharmacy and Biotechnology.
Throughout our 20 year history, we have taken care to maintain our core value of excellence in education. We
strive to provide all students with an excellent experience through high quality programs and student services,
ensuring they get the most out of their studies and life in Australia.
Our high standard of service is recognised by our partners, industry bodies and governments. IES has won several
Queensland state awards, including Best Pathway Program and Outstanding International Student Support. The
awards recognise IES as “providing leadership and exemplary work in the area of pathway development and
provision for international students”.
Most importantly, however, our students recognise the value and high quality of IES College. Our programs
continue to grow in popularity and we were proud to open a third main campus in 2017. This new, world-class
facility, located within short walking distance of our other two campuses, will allow IES’ university preparation
programs to be delivered to more students and continues our tradition of supporting high quality students to
enter UQ.
I look forward to welcoming you to IES and Australia.

STUDENT SUCCESS
More than 8,000 IES students have entered UQ since the program began. Graduates enter all
undergraduate programs at UQ, including Business Management, Engineering, Pharmacy and
Law (quotas apply in some programs).
IES Graduates are academically and culturally prepared when beginning their undergraduate
degree and are confident to take advantage of additional opportunities available to them, such
as the UQ Advantage Award program and the Brisbane International Student Ambassador
program.
Graduates are returning to their home countries after university and entering positions in
diverse fields including government, business, health services and charities. Many graduates
continue to use the skills learnt during foundation at work and in their everyday lives.
