1INTERNATIONAL ORIENTATION PROGRAM

Vice-Chancellors Message

Congratulations on your entry to QUT. The years ahead will be an important time o personal

and intellectual growth as you develop the knowledge required or a particular career and

general skills or both proessional and personal lie.

The frst ew days at university, like other transitional experiences in lie, can be a bewildering

and even traumatic experience. Commencing students typically experience a sea o unamiliaraces, a seemingly endless number o orms and regulations, and the uncertainty o learning in a

new environment.

QUTs Orientation Program is one way o helping you through this time. Orientation provides you

with inormation through aculty talks, library and laboratory tours, and inormation about QUT

and the acilities we oer.

QUTs Orientation Program also shows you the human ace o QUT, with many o our students and sta volunteers acting

as human signposts to direct you through the initial turbulent days. The personal interaction you have at this time will

orm the beginning o a network o proessional and personal associations you will make during your studies here, and

one that you will maintain or many years aterwards.

As part o your orientation, the inormation contained in this booklet will help you to settle in quickly and to begin your

studies with a broader perspective on your academic area and QUT as a whole. Welcome to QUT. I hope you will makethe most o your time here.

Proessor Peter Coaldrake

Vice-Chancellor
