“JCU Brisbane is a smaller campus but it is very useful
for you to find a job. Especially as it is leading the way in
employer satisfaction, according to a national survey.
I recommend studying in Australia, especially JCU
Brisbane as it’s been an amazing experience for my life.
Through my classes, I have been able to go on fieldtrips
to places like Dreamworld at the Gold Coast and see
firsthand the practical elements of the theory I had learnt

that focused on the students. Sitting in a lecture
theatre with hundreds of other students and listening
to one lecturer can be a lot and that’s why I chose
to study at JCU Brisbane. You get more attention

made because the facilities here are great, and the support we
get from the Joblinx department is amazing. Also, the great

use to describe what I am enjoying right now. My studies
are just cool. My lecturers are very nice and I’ve been able to
make new friends from different countries.
Living in Australia has given me the opportunity to meet
people from different walks of life, different backgrounds.
This is the first time traveling outside of my country and I
can say that I am really enjoying it. ”

it's graduate employability and that is what I was looking for in the long run. JCU
Brisbane is the place where talent is recognised and awarded the right way. They
have friendly professors encouraging me every step of the my journey that pumps
me up with confidence that I'm doing alright and I can continue to do better!
I love the fact that I can explore my options while enrolling for subjects. I’ve enjoyed
all the subjects of IT so far and in particular the MBA subjects, that I feel might have
opened new doors for me. I’ve had the chance to strengthen my abilities in subjects I
have dealt with in my bachelors, and I also got to learn new concepts which helped me
realize what I find challenging and I need to work on. JCU Brisbane is the go-to place if
you are wanting to go BIG in life.”

“My university experiences at JCU Brisbane have been amazing. Upon doing the Master
of Education/ Master of Business Administration program I was exposed to learning
subjects that talked curriculum, pedagogy and different kinds of learning techniques
used today. It was fairly new to me and I felt like it enhanced my knowledge. JCU
Brisbane is a very welcoming place, and from the very first day, I felt really warm and
at home here because of the small class size, and all the events that keep happening, this
gave me the opportunity to study new things and also meet and make new friends.”

Every year hundreds of students graduate from JCU Brisbane and launch highly
successful careers.
Our Alumni attribute their success to, among other things, the delivery of world-class
programs, expert lecturing staff and our Professional Internships program.
"After graduating from JCU Brisbane I started my
own business, a technology company specialising
in mobile & web app, cloud computing, software
engineering and now expanding our capabilities
into block chain and artificial intelligence. My time
at JCU Brisbane helped me a lot to start my rapidly
expanding business. Coming from a middle class
family without any business background, I found
my studies very helpful in launching my career
and preparing me for a successful career. The very
practical nature of the subjects like the Research
Project, ICT projects combined with the support
from Joblinx to secure an internship working with an
IT company were invaluable. This is where I learnt

professors are really helpful and want the students
