The language programs at QUT play a key role in the University's drive to internationalise courses and learning across all faculties. They prepare students with practical, up-to-date spoken and written language skills and develop intercultural competencies relevant for the global workforce. All language programs are delivered through the QUT Languages Centre, hosted within the Faculty of Business.
The content of the programs is driven by practice in the use of language, applied linguistics, computer-based multimedia technology, and internet resources.
All language classes, the language computer laboratory and teaching staff offices are located at Gardens Point campus.
Enhance your degrees and diversify your career prospects by studying a foreign language.
Entry Bonus Scheme to be introduced for languages at QUT from 2009
To support Australia-wide initiatives to encourage students to study languages, QUT will offer 2 BONUS POINTS for successfully completing languages other than English (LOTE) subjects to Grade 12 level. The QUT Entry Bonus Scheme applies to students completing Year 12 or equivalent in 2008 and applying for entry in 2009 to any QUT course where academic achievement is the primary criteria for selection. These bonus points are the equivalent of two QTAC Selection Ranks.
Start QUT Program
QUT will also award ONE BONUS POINT to students who, while at school, successfully complete one or more university-level subject at any Australian university. This includes languages. Students can study a language at QUT while still at school through the START QUT Program. To be eligible for this program, you should already be at a level in the relevant language which enables you to enter our program at Level 3 or higher, i.e. the equivalent of Grade 12 exit level proficiency.
