“My passions are biotechnology and healthcare
commercialisation and I chose UQ because of
its high global ranking in both these fields.
“My program, intended as an alternative
to a research focused PhD, allowed me to
pursue advanced training in science while
simultaneously developing multidisciplinary
business skills. It has been very useful for my
current role where I am establishing an office to
deal with intellectual property and technology
transfer processes at our university, as well
as developing a policy on university spin-out
companies for respective Mongolian ministries.
“I believe UQ has enhanced my career by
helping me develop communication ethics,
along with original, practical solutions to real-
world problems.”
Whatever you want from learning,
whatever you want from life,
choose UQ

“I wanted to study in Australia because
of its multiculturalism and wide range of
opportunities, and I chose UQ because
of its prestige, quality and international
reputation for research.
“It was the best experience of my life: the
program was well structured, relevant and
informative, and the lecturers excellent.
“I managed to acquire the necessary skills
to get a good job, learned a lot from diverse
cultures and about new technologies, and
made many important contacts. I’d highly
recommend UQ.”

“I first chose UQ because of its attractive,
well thought through School of Public Health
online information. Brisbane’s ‘small city’
size and climate were also appealing.
“When I arrived, there were more
pleasant surprises: the excellent, extensive
library and the support system (social
and academic). It helped me achieve
well, develop critical thinking and learn
to value networking, and improved my
self-confidence. I was even challenged
to become a student mentor in my final
semester.
“If you are contemplating study here, I
recommend you make the most of
the support system – someone’s
always got your back at UQ.”
