“I chose to study at UQ because of the WEP
program. It was the only course of its kind
that offered a close connection with each of
these industries at Masters level. I’m glad
I did because I made lifetime friends and a
solid, international professional network. I
also had an enriching experience.
“Living in Brisbane was great. I enjoyed
the warm and welcoming community, the
endless sunshine, and the Aussie way of life
with its real focus on health and wellbeing: I
really made use of the on-campus swimming
pool.
“If you’re thinking about studying here – go
for it! You won’t be disappointed.”

“A friend of mine had completed his LLM at
UQ the year before me and, after speaking
with him about his experiences, UQ was
my first choice!
“The University facilities are just great.
The campus with its many lakes, lawns
and courts is beautiful and really provides
an inspiring atmosphere. The library,
societies, great teachers and staff... in my
opinion, UQ provides everything a student
needs. And of course, Brisbane is the most
beautiful city in Australia!
“My time at UQ definitely provided
me with better English language skills, as
well as a basic knowledge of the common
law system. Both are very useful in my
current position.
“The work I’m doing now is pretty much
the way I pictured my future job would be
when I studied at UQ.”
