USQ also offers a wide choice of subjects for students to choose from, and has a reputation for consistently producing career-ready graduates. This is evidenced by the fact that the institution is number one in Queensland, Australia for graduates in full-time employment, according to the Good Universities Guide, 2018.

Face-to-face learning support is on offer from friendly staff at the University’s Learning Centre, where students can go to seek guidance on their workload and how to make the most of their time at USQ. There is also an award-winning library on offer, where students can access thousands of resources at their fingertips.

The University is famed for its world-class collection of support services, evidenced by the fact that it received a five-star rating for the Student Support category in the 2017 Good Universities Guide. One of the stand-out features of its support services are its Student Relationship Officers, who are there to help students with any question, no matter how small or big it may be.

Life outside of class is vibrant and exciting at USQ, with a number of different sports clubs and events being held throughout the year. Students come from 94 different countries to make for a diverse and dynamic campus, and the University received a 5-star rating for student satisfaction from MyUniversity in 2015.

What's new

USQ's online Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme has been ranked 11th best online MBA in the world, and second in Australia, according to international business publication, CEO Magazine.

The magazine has showcased top business schools from around the globe since it first launched in 2008, and its 2018 feature weighed data from 270 programmes (56 online, 93 executive and 122 full-time and part-time).

Business professionals seeking extra qualifications and skill development have yet another reason to choose the University of Southern Queensland (USQ). In addition to the 11th place ranking for the University’s online programme, USQ’s MBA was rated as Tier One, based on its overall percentage score in areas including price, quality of faculty, accreditation, delivery methods, international exposure, and faculty to student ratio.

USQ Head of School for Management and Enterprise, Professor Peter Murray said he was pleased with both results.

"Our MBA programme is designed to provide students with a competitive edge and greater understanding of change and sustainability across global markets,” said Professor Murray. “Providing a good-valued flexible programme that allows students to study online and in their own time is a stand-out feature of the programme.”

He also added, “The USQ MBA is focused on qualifying students for a wide range of public or private positions nationally and internationally.”
