SAMANTHA
SHAKSPEARE
‘I work in Sydney at The Harbour
Agency, Australia’s largest booking
agency. I’ve always loved music and
now I’m constantly immersed in it,
liaising with managers, artists and
venues daily. I go to several gigs a
week and have met some incredible
people. I love the idea that I’m helping
to build or maintain a musician’s career.
QUT was an essential stepping
stone into the industry. Working on
the 100 Songs project and starting
a music blog, Mind the Music, really
set me on my way. My entertainment
industries studies, internships and the
strong focus on developing industry
relationships definitely helped me get
to where I am now.’

Enhance your career opportunities
As a QUT Creative Industries Faculty
student you will have the opportunity to
undertake work integrated learning that
will enhance your professional experience
and provide contacts in the industry.
Employers look for graduates who have
relevant industry experience and are familiar
with workplace culture. By engaging in
work integrated learning experiences
throughout your degree you will gain an
advantage in your future career.
You can engage with the work integrated
learning (WIL) program at various points
in your degree. The program provides a
number of study options including:
•
internships
•
creative projects
•
international study tours.
Internships
Internships are taken through the WIL
program in the final years of your study
to give you the opportunity to put into
practice the creative skills you have
acquired in your degree. Internships
provide you with the opportunity to hone
these skills in a workplace context and
build industry networks to enhance your
future work opportunities. Students
have undertaken internships in Brisbane,
interstate and overseas for organisations
such as Brisbane Festival, Easton
Pearson, Hassell Studio, Queensland
Ballet, ACP Magazines, Channel 9, Hook
Line and Sync, Queensland Theatre
Company, The Courier-Mail, Creative
Generation and Ekka. Students have also
undertaken internships in not-for-profit
and community organisations such as
ArtsLink Queensland.
Creative projects and study tours
Teaching career pathways
Projects undertaken through the WIL
program provide you with opportunities
to work in a small team of students on a
professional industry-based project with
a creative outcome. Past projects include
journalistic reporting in the Pacific region,
Woodford Folk Festival, Arts Electronica
and Out of the Box children’s festival.
Community engagement projects have
included fashion workshops to enhance
social connections for migrant women
and collaborating with Volunteering
Queensland to create a series of
communication resources. Creative
industries study tours take students to
New York, Europe, Bollywood in India,
and throughout Asia.
You can increase your career options
by completing a graduate-entry teacher
education course after your degree
to become a primary or secondary
school teacher. Graduate-entry teacher
education courses for secondary
teaching require you to have completed
a range of studies in two teaching
areas. You need to plan your enrolment
to ensure you meet these entry
requirements when you graduate.
In addition to directly supporting students’
learning, the Creative Industries Faculty,
via QUT Creative Enterprise Australia,
also provides other industry opportunities
through the accelerated growth of small to
medium creative businesses.
The WIL program taps into a variety of
connections, providing you with a wealth
of options for real-world experiences. Our
industry partners see the program as an
opportunity to bring fresh perspectives
and ideas into their organisations, to see
what QUT Creative Industries Faculty
students offer their businesses, and to
test drive potential employees.
Pathways are available for careers in
teaching secondary school dance,
drama, music, film and media, and
visual arts.

LIONEL JACKMAN
‘With QUT’s creative industries degree I developed skills in multiple art forms and
learned how to apply these in a commercial and entrepreneurial context. I had a huge
variety of opportunities. On exchange I worked for a reality TV and documentary
production company in Los Angeles on shows for the Discovery Channel, the Food
Network and TLC TV network. The course, with its flexibility, international network and
industry knowledge, was a springboard to pursue the career I wanted.’
Lionel’s career highlights so far include working as lead digital strategist for WTFN
Entertainment, where he worked to expand WTFN’s presence internationally and
set up new media platforms to distribute their extensive library of television content.

DEAN
VOWLES
‘QUT provided me with the ticket to
a great career. I learnt a lot once I
started working, but QUT’s course and
industry contacts gave me the best
foundation to apply myself to the task
and keep moving forward.
My career highlights so far include
landing a job in Hong Kong and getting
to work on projects that span the entire
region, from China to Malaysia. Also
helping create and execute real-time,
award-winning content campaigns
for Samsung and IGA Australia was
great fun and great experience. QUT
encourages you to apply what you’re
taught, think big and think for yourself.’

SARAH
MOORE
‘I chose the Bachelor of Creative
Industries because it offered flexible
study areas and industry-related
skills, knowledge and experience
that I could use in a number of
professions in my future.
From the beginning, you are given
the chance to network with your
peers, academics and guest industry
practitioners. The lecturers and tutors
within the Creative Industries Faculty
are fantastic, knowledgeable and
inspiring, with most having years of
experience working in their relevant
disciplines or industries.
I had many opportunities to gain
industry-related experiences, travel,
collaborate, make numerous industry
contacts, undertake internships
and work on projects, including a
two-week entertainment industries
international study tour in Europe and
the UK. I networked with entertainment
professionals from around the world
and soaked up all things creative—at
MIPTV in Cannes, Disneyland Paris,
BBC Studios and Harry Potter Studios
in London, an exclusive film screening,
and MediaCityUK.

Travelling internationally has given me
a global entertainment perspective
and inspired me to work in production
and artist liaison in the live music and
festival industry.’

MORRISON
‘I chose the Bachelor of Creative
Industries as it offered a great range of
majors and minors that suited my career
aspirations. I completed the first year of
my degree at QUT Caboolture campus
as it is close to home and allowed me to
easily transition into uni.
My course provided me with strategic
and creative planning skills, which I
was able to implement during my work
integrated learning internship. The
professional relationships I built during
my internship helped me secure a
position within the Moreton Bay Regional
Council events team. I now work on
the region’s major events including The
Decades Festival and Urban Country
Music Festival.’
KIM
ROBLES
‘I chose QUT because it offered
great courses and gave students
the opportunity to gain real-world
experience. My course taught me
essential creative skills, and I produced
work to use in my portfolio and gained
experience through a work integrated
learning internship. I built relationships
with many industry professionals, which
helped me in finding a full-time job.
Working as a program coordinator
for Digital Brisbane, within Brisbane
Marketing, allows me to integrate my
creative and strategic marketing skills.
My role involves event coordination
and management, design and
distribution of marketing collateral, and
recently, managing Digital Brisbane’s
social media outlets, which is a major
career highlight.’

HANNAH
SLATER
‘I chose QUT because the design
course encouraged integration of
work experience. I was supported
to broaden my skill set through the
design facilities, particularly the digital
labs, where I engaged with advanced
tools and technologies. The project
work was always focused and locally
relevant. I enjoyed opportunities to
travel and study overseas. I work in a
Brisbane architecture firm, Architectus,
where I get to see the realisation of
2D drawings to 3D ‘real’ buildings.
It’s incredibly surreal to be shaping
the spaces and environments people
inhabit every day. I find it a great
responsibility and very rewarding.’

This course has been assessed as a
bachelor honours degree which is a higherlevel qualification than a bachelor degree.
The advanced knowledge and skills in this
course will benefit your professional career
or future research and study.
Through QUT’s Bachelor of Design
(Honours) you’ll forge powerful
collaborations with a diverse range of
like-minded designers and set up
career-enhancing networks.

Next, after studying for a year:
•
•
choose a second major (eight units
from any approved QUT degree), or
choose two minors (a minor is a
specific set of four units drawn from
courses throughout QUT), or
choose one minor and four electives.
Minors and majors allow you to tailor your
studies to suit your interests and career
aspirations. Minors give you breadth of
knowledge from two other areas and a
second major provides depth in one area.
This means eight units of your course (one
quarter of your degree) are taken from
outside your primary major. You’ll work
alongside students from other disciplines
because that is how it will be when you
graduate and work in the real world of
design.
The possibilities are almost endless.

an architecture student could take a
minor in interior design and a work

a landscape architecture student could
take a language minor such as Italian to
help them work overseas
•
an interior design student could take a
second major in industrial design to aid
their ambition to design and manufacture
their own range of office furniture
an industrial design student could
take a second major in mechanical or
electrical engineering to give them a
deeper understanding of manufacturing
and production
a fashion student could take a minor in
business and another in interior design
to help meet their dream of launching
their own concept fashion store
an interactive and visual design
student could take a second major in
advertising or marketing and work as a
designer for a leading digital agency.
And remember—your second major or
minors could be in film, creative writing,
music, visual arts, drama or other
disciplines across QUT#.
Second degree
Undertaking a second major in one of the
six design disciplines also gives you the
option of obtaining a second degree*.
After graduation, you can return to
complete the remaining 12 units (or
equivalent) from your second major to
obtain a second qualification. This is
usually undertaken part time over two
years while working.
Note: This is not a double degree because
it is not undertaken simultaneously with the
first degree.
Example
A student completes a Bachelor of Design
(Honours) (Industrial Design) with a second
major in interactive and visual design.
They can then return to complete units in
interactive and visual design and graduate
with a second design degree in interactive
and visual design.
Fashion has additional entry requirements. See page 16 for further details.
#The
choice of second majors may be limited in some disciplines.
* To pursue a second design degree, this second major must be an approved set of eight units from within a Bachelor of Design (Honours) primary major.

Architecture engages with the design,
theory and practice of making spaces
and environments for human activity.
The profession of architecture has an
extensive history as a practice and
academic discipline. Developed from an
apprenticeship model of professional
education, workplace experience is still a
requirement for professional registration
and recognition of architects. This historic
relationship with workplace learning still
strongly informs architectural education
at QUT.
If you are interested in creating things,
buildings and spaces, technology, art and
design, a career in architecture may be
for you.
Your architecture and design degree at
QUT focuses on sustainable systems and
the application of advanced digital design
tools to address sustainability. Your
study is supported by the integration of
teaching, practice and research.
Architecture at QUT is increasingly
recognised internationally for its service
to the advancement of the discipline,
and its focus on innovation in design and
sustainable development. To address
the sustainability imperative, entirely
new approaches to constructing and
retrofitting cities are necessary. We inspire
and empower you to create environments
with a positive impact on human health,
environmental quality, social relationships
and urban systems.

‘As a graduate architect I work on
designing and documenting a range
of architectural projects from medium
to large scale—most recently a major
transit-oriented development around a
Brisbane train station, and a Townsville
master plan. I chose this career to use
my creativity to make a difference in
the world. I really enjoy my job—we
have a great office culture in a friendly,
supportive environment.
Learning about design thinking is
probably one of the most valuable
tools I developed at QUT. The lecturers
and tutors led really engaging, open
discussions about design and broader
topics beyond the course structure.’

‘The flexibility of the QUT design
degree is amazing. Being taught by
architects and with real project briefs,
each semester I designed something
that had a real-world application
and I developed an amazingly broad
portfolio for my professional career.
I have started my Master of
Architecture at QUT and completed
an internship at Hochschule
Ostwestfalen-Lippe in Detmold,
Germany—a specialised design
university. I coordinated an
international conference with
universities and professionals from
around Europe and the UK on façade
technology and innovation. I’m now
working at Platinum Design Architects

of a luxury apartment block, the
first project where I’ve had sole

launched my own accessories label,
Oak & Hide. Creating a brand identity

design is about solving challenges
and crosses so many knowledge

jewellery and fashion label in 2014.
I chose QUT because it had great
resources and they are a leader
in digital arts and the creative
industries. The variety in the course
was fantastic—web design and
development, photography, motion
graphics, game and level design,
illustration and all things 3D—you
could explore and discover what
really resonated with you. Many of
my current creative interests were
sparked during my time at QUT.’

Bachelor of Design (Honours) (Interior Design)
Design common units
(4 units)
Interiors are significant in our everyday life
at all levels of interaction and experience.
Unlike interior decoration, interior design
as a profession is concerned with the
relationship between people and all
aspects of the environment through
a focus on interior settings that are
functional and enhance the quality of life
and cultural experience of the occupants.
Interior designers consider the purpose,
efficiency, comfort, safety and aesthetics
of interior spaces.
As well as technical knowledge and
design skill, interior designers possess
theoretical knowledge of how people
interact with environments psychologically
and socially. They often work as part
of a team that may include architects,
builders, project managers, engineering
consultants, shopfitters, cabinet makers
and furniture and materials suppliers.
This internationally recognised course
integrates design with social and
environmental issues. Links with other
disciplines in QUT’s Creative Industries
Faculty facilitate digital design in the context
of virtual and interactive environments,
further broadening career opportunities.
Interior design at QUT has strong
connections to local industry, employing
award-winning practitioners as tutors and
promoting student work in prominent public
settings. The degree prepares students for
a career in an increasingly diverse field that
embraces small and large-scale design in
both real and virtual environments. It also
provides a foundation for transition to higher
degree study at masters or PhD level.
Recent focus on physical and digital
experimentation and attention to
body/space relations is driving the
course into the third millennium. This is
further supported by a growing research
emphasis on design for health and social
inclusion. Developed from traditional
foundations, our approach extends interior
design into new and emergent fields.

This vision is supported by contemporary,
relevant teaching which culminates in
upper-level design studios that are the
site for experimentation and research-led
enquiry. Here students conceptualise and
develop their designs through to detailed
resolution, using representational means
ranging from models to full-scale material
constructs and digital animations. As an
important location for self-discovery,
these project-based design units engage
staff expertise which offers different and
individual specialist approaches.

Many interior designers work
independently or in both small and
large practices. Others elect to work in
multidisciplinary firms specialising in
large-scale complex architectural projects,
both locally and internationally. Other
career areas include retail, and theatre
and exhibition design, particularly in
gallery or museum settings. Exciting new
areas include interaction design, gaming
and virtual environments—specialist areas

ANGELA
LAYTON
‘I’m an interior designer and practice
director at architectural studio,
Arkhefield. I work across many
projects, contributing to the interior
design aspects of the architecture of
our new buildings, and leading the
renovations and refurbishments of
existing buildings.
I wanted a career that challenged both
sides of my brain, and interior design
requires problem solving with both
creative and technical responses. I was
always interested in a multidisciplinary
approach to the creation of places and
spaces, and at QUT the design and built
environment disciplines are studied
together. The most important thing I
learnt is the ability to think critically and
to look at the world with curiosity.’
LOUISE
WILLEY
‘Interior design has always been
something I’ve done, often rearranging
the lounge room or redecorating my
bedroom. I finally decided to pursue
my imagination with QUT.
Now I aim to produce designs which
enhance the quality of the space
for end users. I’ve been involved
in hospitals, international airports,
hotels, restaurants, multi-residential
apartments and major government
commercial high-rise workplace design.
Uni was a great experience,
with fantastic opportunities in
multidisciplinary community design
projects involving real timeframes,
budgets and team organisation.
The industry-experienced lecturers,
practical assessment pieces and
camaraderie of the design studio
are unbeatable.’

Bachelor of Design (Honours) (Landscape Architecture)
Design common units
(4 units)
Who designed the new capital city of
Canberra, the Australian Garden at the
Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, New
York’s Central Park, and the gardens of
the Palace of Versailles in France? They
were the work of landscape designers,
now known as landscape architects.
Landscape architecture offers a design
career combining art and science to create
long-lasting and meaningful, enjoyable
outdoor places. Today’s landscape
architects continue to play a significant role
in the economic, social and environmental
interests of communities through design,
planning, development and management.
Landscape architects research, plan,
design and advise on the stewardship,
conservation and sustainability of
development of all kinds of outdoor
environments. Landscape architects
contribute significantly to making the
world a better place physically, socially,
culturally and environmentally. The
profession is concerned with the design
of external landscapes on all scales to
ensure the health and welfare of the
environment and people.
Landscape architects design and plan
projects including parks and other
recreational places, botanic gardens,
sporting complexes and various
educational, commercial, industrial and
residential sites, as well as landscapes
associated with major infrastructure
systems such as roads and railways.
Landscape architecture major
(17 units)
During your degree you will be working
on real-world problem-solving projects
involving community participation. We
employ many part-time tutors from
professional practice in our design studios
and theory units. This keeps our teaching
well grounded and linked to industry.
We are passionate about keeping our
courses real and relevant. We also feed
our findings from individual staff research
back into our teaching so we can advance
the discipline of landscape architecture for
the community and practice.
Career outcomes
As a landscape architect you may work
independently, in small partnerships or
as a member of large multidisciplinary
teams with other professionals such as
architects, engineers, urban designers
and town planners. You may work in
private practice or in government areas
at local, state and federal levels. You will
be engaged primarily in site planning, site
design, planting design and landscape
planning. Many graduates enjoy work in
overseas practices.
Studying landscape architecture at
QUT is a great choice. We offer the only
fully accredited landscape architecture
degree in Queensland and have a 50-year
history as one of Australia’s principal
landscape educators. Graduates are

NATALIE

‘My interest in the landscape
was inspired by my upbringing in
picturesque mountainous rural
surroundings, as well as my travels,
which also opened my eyes to
exploring outdoor spaces. Studying
landscape architecture at QUT
taught me how to investigate what
the landscape is comprised of and
how it functions from regional to local
scales. The design honours degree
provided me with the opportunity to
develop a personal research-design
process for my future career, enriched
by the theory, as well as practical and
creative explorations. This approach
challenged and strengthened my
creative and pragmatic abilities, which
are essential for my career.’

NICOLE
GALEA
Nicole Galea uses her dance and
teaching qualifications from QUT in her
role as a specialist dance teacher.
‘I love watching people discovering
dance, and passing on my knowledge
to so many varying community
members. I especially find it rewarding
giving children the skills to get on
stage and perform. Their excitement
and enthusiasm is contagious and
the pride and confidence they acquire
makes my job very worthwhile.
I implemented Eatons Hill State
School’s first dance program.
Watching my students perform and
take their curtain call to a cheering
crowd, and seeing such a strong dance
culture being built in our community is
heart-warming.
Most recently I have been a guest
writer for the implementation of the
new Australian Curriculum for The
Arts–Dance. I was also involved with the
filming of associated teacher resources.
At QUT I had great lecturers who were
industry people—they certainly knew
their stuff. I’ve been fortunate to work
with many of them in dance education
projects and still turn to them for
advice, help and guidance.’

TANNION
‘I felt like my mind opened up at QUT—
the access to dance history, analysis
and physiology has been instrumental
in how I approach my work analytically,
choreographically and dramaturgically.
I wanted to express my ideas with
my own creative style and voice, and
needed to create my own work.
My passion for circus led me to set up
Organizacion Efimera, an international
circus company that mixes circus arts
with physical theatre and dynamic
choreography. Last year our new show
toured to festivals in Mexico, Brazil,
Spain and Malta. I also directed shows
in Adelaide, Mexico City and Panama.
I have just started prepping to work as
the movement director of a new largescale theatrical version of Lord of the

‘I currently create live art works that
are site responsive and use locative
or mobile technology, audience
participation, or sculptural elements. I
work mainly in Australia, and I recently
worked onsite in the US as a curatorial
assistant on Art in Odd Places festival.
I chose QUT because the Creative
Industries Faculty had a great
reputation for being innovative and
contemporary in terms of artistic
theories and practices. The course was
enhanced with opportunities to attend
guest lectures, complete vacation
research projects, work as part of the
student theatre company, and meet
others to create new works. The course
and the complementary activities
became my sturdy platform for creating

works in a professional context.’

teaching staff. We became a family very
quickly and the people, both staff and
students, were absolutely wonderful. I
think many lifelong friends have come
from my time at QUT.
I had lots of opportunities to develop
industry contacts—contacts who set
me up in my career and who I continue
to see and work with—from artistic
directors and education managers at
theatre companies, to directors and
actors who taught us at uni.’

core units
(16 units)
The audience settles in their seats and
begins to quieten. On cues from the stage
manager, the house lights fade and the
orchestra begin to play. The curtain rises
and hundreds of lights illuminate the stage.
Behind the scenes, twenty members of
the production team work to ensure that
all sound, lighting, multimedia, staging,
props and costume elements enhance the
performance perfectly.
Weeks of rehearsal have gone into
preparing this event. Sets have been
designed and built, costumes made and
repaired, props sourced and painted, lights
rigged and plotted, radio microphones
tuned and fitted. As the show ends, the
performers take their final bow, the house
curtain falls for the final time and the
audience leaves. The activity switches to
the trucks behind the theatre for the move
to the next venue in the next city.
With the global arts and entertainment
industry expanding rapidly, expertise in all
elements of live production is highly sought
after across all types of live performance.
This course provides you with fundamental
skills in stage management, lighting, sound,
multimedia production, costume, props,
stage mechanics, scenery installation
and theatre design. You’ll also have the
opportunity to specialise in a particular area
of live production and access to industrybased learning and placements.

‘Recently I joined Sydney Theatre
Company as Director, Technical and
Production. It is an honour to play a
leading role in bringing to life productions
produced by one of the world’s leading
theatre companies. Before relocating
back to Sydney I was the creative
director of Colour Me Brisbane for the
G20 Cultural Celebrations. Prior to that
from 2008 until 2013 I was the technical
director of Brisbane Festival. I have
worked all over the world creating and
realising city signature events, ballet,
theatre and opera.
I am a firm believer that the technical
team is the backbone of any production,
bringing the ideas to life on every
scale. Throughout my studies I had
the opportunity to work on the many
different shows QUT produced. I gained
invaluable insights into the industry,
established many ongoing industry
contacts and was fortunate to tour
interstate during my time at QUT.’

‘As co-founder for Casus Circus and
a freelance production manager my

so far, travelling to 35 different cities in
15 countries and working on countless
different productions from opera to
musicals to circus. I love working on a
technical creative level to produce great
work from small to big productions. I
am in technical production because
the industry is about creativity and
collaboration of great people all striving
to make amazing art forms.
QUT prepared me on many levels—
it gave me the confidence to take
risks and the skills to work in a
multidisciplinary industry. The facilities
are fantastic, and working with the
acting, drama and dance students

DAWSON
‘QUT has a reputation for focusing on connecting with local
industry and making sure you have competitive, relevant skills.
My lecturers provided me with amazing opportunities to go
even further and distinguish myself. Animation at QUT had this
great focus on team projects, which turned out to be super
valuable. Essentially, everything I do in the workplace is part of
a team. Communication skills are crucial.
As a product manager at Halfbrick, I control the greater vision
for games like Jetpack Joyride, balancing user experience,
business success and technology, and guiding them through
development into success.
This career lets me do what I love and get paid for it. There’s the
everyday enjoyment of working with awesome, talented people
who share my love of games, and then there’s the creative
satisfaction of seeing the joy on a player’s face when they play a
game I created.’

Anita Holtsclaw, ‘palaces’
‘I make art because I can’t imagine
not making art. Artists ask questions
and start conversations that are really
important for a healthy society, and I
want to be involved in that process.
Studying at QUT was fundamental
in my career—it taught me to
constantly question and experiment
in my art practice. I was free to
explore all manner of topics, media
and processes in my art making.
Importantly, your peer group becomes
an integral part of your professional
network, even before you graduate.
I’ve recently exhibited in both the 19th
Biennale of Sydney and the NEW14
exhibition at the Australian Centre
for Contemporary Art. These were
fantastic opportunities to realise my
work on a new scale.’
Clark Beaumont, ‘Undress’
Michael Candy, ‘Big Dipper’
TESS
MAUNDER
‘I currently work at the contemporary
art space called the Institute of Modern
Art in Brisbane (IMA) as the public
programs and publications officer. I also
undertake projects independently as a
curator, editor and writer.
Rather than approaching curating
through a traditional art history
trajectory, I preferred to study
alongside artists so that I could directly
understand artistic production; QUT
allowed me the opportunity to do
so. Studying at QUT also positioned
me well for access into the local art
industry, with strong connections to
Brisbane Artist Run Initiatives. It was
this practical experience, alongside
artists, which helped me go on to study
with Independent Curators International
(New York) and the Gwangju Biennale
Foundations’ International Curator
Course with Maria Lind, in South Korea.’

Writers are in demand across a number of
fields. The publishing and screen industries,
advertising agencies, magazines and
newspapers, the online world, the public
service and large corporations all require
specialist writers with a flair for language.
More than 10 000 new books are
published in Australia every year, and more

with their work in digital media and more
traditional formats. If you can channel your
creativity into words, you are in a unique
position in today’s media-rich world.
This course will provide you with
opportunities to work intensively on your
writing in a number of forms and genres
including traditional forms like novels and
short stories, creative non-fiction, youth
writing, media writing and poetry as well
as in emerging and digital forms. It will
give you skills in reading like a writer, in
analysing texts in critical and nuanced
ways. In addition, it will help you build
specialist writing skills for professional
applications such as corporate
writing, persuasive writing, editing and
scriptwriting. With the right grade point
average, you can work on a sustained
project for a full 18 months in our unique

‘I’m currently living in Malaysia

Magazine, a biannual magazine
that covers fashion trends, style hot

of the magazine, managing a team of
photographers, contributors and the

I enjoy most about my job is meeting

‘As my career goals involve both law
and journalism, a double degree was
the best way forward. The diverse
experience and talent that QUT
lecturers and tutors provide enriches
my learning significantly. Many of
them have spent significant time in
their respective industries and bring
a practical experience to every class.
Guest lecturers are well chosen and
provide contemporary perspectives
directly from industry.
My internship at a law firm in Brisbane
city further complemented my studies
of the law. I have also had my work as a
journalism student published through a
community publication.
Studying a double degree adds a new
dimension to my learning experience in
the way it requires two different modes
of thought. I enjoy the variety and
graduating with two different degrees
also allows for long-term flexibility in
my career.’

‘At QUT I studied a range of practical
classes that were extraordinarily useful
in preparing me for the life and chaos
of real-life newsrooms. Working with
professional cameramen, editors and
producers is amazing. The contacts I
made at QUT ensured I had the best
possible chance of securing work
experience. Since then I have worked
in five Australian cities, at the BBC in
London, reported from disaster zones
and travelled through Southern Africa.
I love that my work has the ability to
make a real impact.
A career highlight was being able to

‘My career as an online community and research engagement
manager at Southern Cross Austereo came about through a
uni project. Being in a real-world work environment before I
finished my studies, I felt incredibly confident transitioning
from student to full-time employee. Every day is different—
from monitoring the successes of Hamish and Andy for the
Today network, to looking into the subject of men and worklife balance for Triple M. As a team we are always trying to
find answers, understand different audience behaviours or
assist with important business transformation decisions.
When I first started I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to
do but I knew it had to be around creative industries. QUT’s
reputation and wide scope in the creative industries sector
made it an unmatched choice.’

QUT seemed streets ahead of other universities in technology,

‘I chose to study a double degree in
media and communication and nutrition
because I feel it will better prepare me
for my future career. It will also help my
résumé stand out from the crowd, and
it’s only one extra year of study.
There are opportunities to combine
knowledge through assignments,
like choosing to profile a health
professional for a media class, or
using my media skills to put together a
presentation for a nutrition class. I love
studying a double degree because it
broadens my thinking and expands my
knowledge base, and helps with the
workload as I don’t feel overwhelmed
by too much science or too much
media.
Guest lecturers can be amazing—
I recently had a lecture given by
the writer of the Australian Dietary
Guidelines, and she was a true
inspiration and gave such insight.’

commitments with my drive for business. I provide support and guidance
to other business owners with their marketing and communications so that
they can build their brands.’

my job is to design new and innovative video games for our portfolio. I live for the

outrageously rewarding.
At QUT, I learnt a massively diverse set of technical and artistic skills which
constantly inform and influence my designs. The other students I worked with were

Stand out from the crowd and enhance your undergraduate degree by undertaking a year of
honours study.
Bachelor of Creative Industries (Honours)
Campus Kelvin Grove | Duration 1 year full time | Total credit points 96 | Entry February
Bachelor of Media and Communication (Honours)
Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours)
Bachelor of Music (Honours)
Bachelor of Journalism (Honours)
The honours program is an extension
of your undergraduate course with an
additional year of study and is available
to high-achieving students who have
completed single and double degrees.
In honours, you specialise in your chosen
discipline and complete a major project
that develops your research skills and
creative and professional practice. You are
supported in your project by working with
an academic supervisor and undertaking
three coursework units.
Entry requirements
Honours provides you with advanced
analytical skills, leading to opportunities
for higher degree studies, and gives
you an edge in your professional and
creative life.
A relevant three-year bachelor degree,
normally with a minimum grade point
average of 5.0 (on QUT’s 7-point scale) is
required for entry.
An honours degree identifies you as a
future innovator and leader in your field.
Applicants must provide a proposed
project topic and short summary of the
project, and have identified a prospective
supervisor from within their field of study.
Course structure
You will undertake a unit in research
design, an approved elective related to
your research or practice, and a workshop
that assists you in completing your major
project. Your major project will culminate
in a thesis, or a creative or practical work
and accompanying analysis.
ELLA CHORAZY
‘I completed the Bachelor of Creative Industries (Honours) in media and
communication and have continued my research as a PhD candidate at QUT’s
Digital Media Research Centre. I decided to do my honours year at QUT because I
could draw on leading academics in my field to help develop my research.
QUT also has a supportive research environment and students have access to
development programs that maximise your employability and help build your
research profile. My advice for other aspiring research students is get to know other
people’s projects and experience the diverse research culture QUT has to offer. This
will keep you motivated and can inspire or inform your own work.’

your interests and abilities
try it first by studying university units

program.
Access decision–making advice at www.
qut.edu.au/study/undergraduate-study
2. Check you meet the entry
requirements
How selection is made Applicants
are selected for courses in order of
academic merit, with OPs and ranks
treated equally. OP and rank cut offs
published by institutions should be used
as a guide only. Cut offs can change from
year to year depending on the number
of applications, the standard of the
applicants (OP/rank) and the number of
places available in the course (quota).
Additional entry requirements To gain entry to some degrees you will need
to make an application to QUT in addition
to your QTAC application. For details visit
www.qut.edu.au/additional-entry
Assumed knowledge For most
courses, QUT has an assumed
knowledge scheme for domestic
students. This means that we don’t use
specific school subjects as entry criteria
for our courses, however we assume
you have the knowledge either through
high school subjects or bridging courses.
Check the assumed knowledge for your
course on pages 60–61. If you do not
have the assumed knowledge we strongly
recommend preparatory studies through
QUT or other recognised providers. For
more information visit
www.qut.edu.au/assumed-knowledge
English language proficiency If
you are a domestic student, you will
meet the English language proficiency
requirements if you have completed
secondary schooling in Australia, or
completed one year of full-time accredited
diploma-level studies in Australia with a
grade point average of 4.0 or above (on
QUT’s 7-point scale). If your first language
is not English and you have not previously
undertaken either senior schooling or
higher study in the English language, you
must demonstrate your English language
proficiency. Visit www.qut.edu.au/
assumed-knowledge
3. Investigate the entry
programs
Educational disadvantage If you have
been disadvantaged in your education,
bonus OPs or ranks may be awarded
through the Educational Access Scheme
(EAS), making you more competitive for
course entry. You apply for EAS on your
QTAC application. If eligible, you can receive
up to three bonus OPs (or six bonus ranks),
with a maximum of five bonus OPs (or 10
ranks) if applying for more than one EAS
category.
If you are successful when applying for the
financial hardship category and you enrol
to study at QUT, you will also receive a
guaranteed $3500 QUT Equity Scholarship.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
students The Oodgeroo Unit assists
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
with an entry program that recognises life
experiences, any study undertaken, and
potential, skills and commitment. If you
have identified via QTAC as an Indigenous
Australian and list QUT in your top three
preferences, the Oodgeroo Unit will
contact you. Financial and study support
is also available.
Elite Athlete Entry Program If you are
an elite athlete, sportsperson, manager
or coach, you can apply for QUT’s Elite
Athlete Entry Program, which offers a
bonus of up to three OP bands or six
entry ranks to eligible applicants.
OP and International Baccalaureate
Guarantee If you receive an OP 1–5,
an entry rank of 93 or better, or an
International Baccalaureate Diploma
score of 33 or better, you are guaranteed
a place in the majority of QUT’s courses
in the major offer round. You still need
to include the course on your QTAC
application. To find out whether a course
is included in the OP Guarantee see
pages 60–61.
4. Apply for entry
Applications for QUT undergraduate
courses are made through the
Queensland Tertiary Admissions
Centre (QTAC) online service. For more

QUT website by 1 October each year.
Check the course information at
Entry Bonus Scheme QUT will offer
bonus ranks for successfully completing
certain school subjects, or completing
a university subject while at school (e.g.
START QUT) for students in Year 12 or
equivalent in 2016 and applying for entry
in 2017.
QUT is proud to offer a broad range
of scholarships to reward and support
students and we encourage you to apply.
For more information visit www.qut.edu.au/
study/undergraduate-scholarships
For more details about these entry programs
visit www.qut.edu.au/special-entry
If successful, you will receive an online
letter of offer through QTAC. Once you
have accepted your QTAC offer, you can
enrol online at QUT.
Mature-age or post-school entry Your OP doesn’t go out of date after you
leave school; it gets converted to a rank
(out of 99). If your rank isn’t sufficient to
gain entry to your chosen course, or if
you don’t have an OP or rank, you can be
allocated a rank based on additional study
or work experience. Visit www.qut.edu.au/
study/entry-pathways
6. Accept your offer
QUT allows domestic applicants to defer
the start of their study for one year, except
in courses using specific admission
requirements such as portfolios, audition,
prior study or work experience, or where
course changes do not permit deferment.
In special circumstances, QUT may grant
a further deferment of up to 12 months.
