CQU

In 1967, the University commenced operations as the Queensland Institute of Technology (Capricornia) and in 1971 became the Capricornia Institute of Advanced Education. They were renamed the University College of Central Queensland in 1990 and gained full university status on 1 January 1992.

They were also innovative in their approach to providing education for international students, opening their first international campus in Sydney in 1994. This bold move of operating in another state, dramatically changed the face of Australian higher education and CQUniversity is now recognised as a major provider of education to international students now with additional campuses in Melbourne, Brisbane and on the Gold Coast.

Video Conferencing for teaching

Andrea (Italy)

I think that this (EAP DE) course was very helpful to improve my English. I found good support from teachers and staff. The best part is that it is possible to meet people with completely different points of view and culture.
