Student testimonial | |||||
| Thomas Hering – Study Abroad Germany When I first came to UQ I was really impressed by the huge variety of small restaurants, shops and other services. Whether you want to buy a bike, books, taste Asian food or just reheat your precooked meal in one of the free microwaves, you'll find everything you need. Personally, I love having a coffee from one of the many coffee shops on campus every now and then. UQ offers a broad range of helpful facilities and services. All my courses use the "Blackboard" learning platform, which stores recorded lessons, course profiles and other learning resources. Blackboard is often used by students for discussion purposes too. There is wireless Internet connection in every lecture theatre on campus as well as in the Great Court. | ||||
