PRACTICALEXPERIENCES
Choosing practical study options
– field trips and industry placements
included – will help you emerge
from UQ with the skills and
knowledge you need to boost your
career and meet the demands of
today’s workplace.
“Hands-on” experiences range from
one-hour experiments to work
placements of more than a thousand
hours. You might work in a campus
laboratory, on an island, or down a
mine. You may go to another country.
Or you might just visit a public art gallery.
Whatever the experience, all are
designed to give you a taste of your
future career, and help you make valuable
industry contacts.
