Information with QLD Universities

[demon_69]

I am thinking about moving up to either Brisbane or GC, and I'm looking for information on Unis in the two areas. I am looking at mainly computer technician courses, so a school that is well equipped technically would be helpful. Any links to sites would also be helpful. (I’m to lazy to look meself )

Thanks

Gold Coast:
Griffith University. (Where I attend) http://www.gu.edu.au/home/content.html

Bond University. (Private uni. Just buy your way in there)

Brisbane:

University of Queensland (seen as the most prestigous QLD uni) www.uq.edu.au

QUT (Queensland university of technology) http://www.qut.edu.au/

Griffith University (campuses in Brissy as well as Gold Coast)

Hope that helps.

I'm at QUT, Brisbane. I don't know about it's computer courses, but on the whole it is a great uni I feel. I was previously studying at UQ, and I found that to be hard to settle-in and some courses are a bit old-fashioned and irrelevant to modern society.

QUT generally tries to make it's courses practical and relevant, which I assume would be a good thing if you are looking at computer courses.

I have a friend studying at QUT.It seems to be uptodate and has modern courses.They have a huge range of IT courses.

Another friend is in year 3of an IT course at UQ, he is a computer nut, and he hated the 1st year of the course.Said it was totally irrelivant to what the course was supposed to be about.

I suppose its a personal thing.

Jeez mate, most Demon fans only go to the snow to escape the footy!!

When are you thinking of moving up? Before or after year 12?

Most likely at the end of year 12, depends on arrangements with family at home, and also relatives in QLD.

I did my IT degree at QUT. Good courses and mostly good lecturers. Had one lecturer who was a bit absent, but you get that.
