Here’s what some of our
graduates have to say about
their time at UQ...
YOURUQ. YOURADVANTAGE.
HANLU JIANG (CHINA)
Bachelor of Arts (English Literature
and Media Studies)
Editor, Xinhua News Agency, China
“I chose UQ because of its international
reputation and high academic quality.
Throughout my studies, staff continually
lived up to these high standards.
“The best thing for me at UQ was learning
that I had huge potential to develop on my
own. Before I started studying, I didn’t know
that I could rival my native English-speaking
peers and achieve a great deal. The courses
I took also fully prepared me to handle my
current job as a news editor.
“My time at UQ is a treasured memory.
UQ academics are all very responsible and
kind, and will help you achieve the best you
can. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
JONATHANWEI
(SOUTHAFRICA)
Bachelor of Engineering
(Mechanical and Aerospace)
Winner of 2012 UQ bike-rack design competition,
PhD student in hybrid composites
“Since high school I knew I wanted to be
an engineer and that I should go abroad to
experience something different. I had always
wanted to visit the ‘land down under’ and,
with its good climate, commencement date
similar to South Africa, plus the option of
studying a dual major, UQ was the perfect
choice for me.
“Initially, I found the pace of learning
quite fast, but with the help and support I
received I soon did well. I enjoyed the many
opportunities and well-designed courses the
program offered, befriended people from
all around the world, and took up interests I
never would have started back home, such
as cycling and playing guitar.
“Go UQ!”
