Course and careers advice

Helping to advise students on their university options can sometimes be challenging, so we have developed a number of resources to help you in your role.

Decision making

QUT's Start Here website allows prospective undergraduate students to explore QUT in a fun and interactive way. By visiting the site, students can:

• view video of students answering frequently asked questions

• email real students with any questions about life at university
• register to receive updates and reminders from QUT
• enter their projected OP to find out a range of courses which may be of interest
• by signing in with their Facebook account, students can use their personalised dashboard to keep track of their career search activities and share information with fellow students.

Students can take a Virtual Tour of each of QUT's three campuses and listen to real students talk about the various facilities on offer.

The Student Sharehouse blog is a virtual sharehouse of eight QUT students from a variety of backgrounds, sharing their good and bad experiences at university – with the idea of providing a real account of student life. Your students can interact by posting questions, comments, liking posts and voting for their favourite student blogger.
