Take classes in engineering and related fields with Australian and international students at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), an innovative school in the coastal city of Brisbane. The core related fields at QUT are: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science. Coursework is also available in a range of scientific fields, health sciences, and business.
QUT semester dates do not match the UofM, so careful planning is necessary. At QUT, semester one runs from mid-February to late June, and semester two runs from mid-July to mid-November.
You receive transfer credit for the courses you take. Your grades do not factor into your University of Minnesota GPA. Consult the Learning Abroad Center's Academic Policies for more information.
Open to sophomores and above with a 2.8 GPA. Students earning a degree in the College of Science and Engineering will be given priority on this exchange. Application deadline April 1 for QUT’s Semester II and November 1 for QUT’s Semester 1. You must apply through the College of Science & Engineering.
After determining if this campus is a good fit for your degree, you will design a program of study in consultation with College of Science and Engineering faculty. You must be enrolled full-time, which means you will need to study at least 36 credit points per semester. Thirty six credit points is usually three subjects (classes). Four subjects a semester is considered a standard work load.
You can find more information on the QUT coursework advice pages.
This program awards transfer credit. Participants must earn passing grades in order to transfer credit, but the grades are not factored into their UofM GPA.
After you've chosen a program and identified the courses you want to take, departmental and college advisers can evaluate whether or not the course work can be used toward your major or to meet other requirements.
It's important to be somewhat flexible in planning your courses. Sometimes course information isn't immediately available, so you may need to correspond directly with the host university.
