MATES@UQ
Get involved, university isn’t all about
study!
Student Services coordinates Mates@UQ,
a free program for all UQ students that
encourages social and academic networks
between Australian and international
students. A great way to meet new people
from many different countries, you can
take part in a range of social and learning
activities, and maybe develop your foreign
language skills too. We have mates for
everyone: Chat Mates, Language Exchange
Mates, Aussie Family Mates, Dinner Mates,
Mature Mates and even Sports Mates.
G’day, mate!

QUEST
The Queensland University Exchange
Student Society (QUEST) aims to
showcase the best UQ and Queensland
have to offer by providing events for
exchange, international and domestic
students.
Our events highlight cultural heritage and
scenically beautiful places, while making
sure everyone has lots of fun! Events
run throughout the University year and
include regular informal pub and movie
nights. QUEST also organises a number
of day trips with destinations including
Stradbroke Island, Noosa (for surf
lessons), and the Natural Arch in the Gold
Coast hinterland (where you can see glow
worms!). QUEST runs weekend trips to
Byron Bay, Girraween National Park and
Moreton Island.
QUEST is made up of more than a
thousand Questies from all over the world.
Questies are enthusiastic, interesting and
diverse people, and make QUEST one of
the most vibrant and fun clubs on campus!
