Congratulations on your entry to QUT in 2008. The years ahead will be an important time of personal and intellectual growth as you develop the knowledge required for a particular career and general skills for both professional and personal life.
The first few days at University, like other transitional experiences in life, can be a bewildering and even traumatic experience. Commencing students typically experience a sea of unfamiliar faces, a seemingly endless number of forms and regulations, and the uncertainty of learning in a new environment.
QUT's Orientation Program is one way of helping you through this time. Orientation provides you with information through Faculty talks, library and laboratory tours, and information about QUT and the facilities we offer.
QUT's orientation program also shows you the human face of QUT, with many of our students and staff volunteers acting as human 'signposts' to direct you through the initial turbulent days. The personal interaction you have at this time will form the beginning of a network of professional and personal associations you will make during your studies here, and one that you will maintain for many years afterwards.
As part of your orientation, the information contained on this site will help you to settle in quickly and to begin your studies with a broader perspective on your academic area and QUT as a whole.
Welcome to QUT. I hope you will make the most of your time here.
Professor Peter Coaldrake
Vice-Chancellor
