Our partnerships

The Faculty of Education at USQ continues to develop and maintain partnerships with educational and community organisations to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes at local, national and international levels.

We have set up a Faculty Advisory Committee, incorporating various departments of education and education bodies, the Queensland College of Teachers and student representatives. This advisory board provides us with high-level strategic advice and allows us to identify needs and opportunities in teaching and research, helping us to position ourselves at the forefront of educational innovation.

We work closely with individual schools and the Department of Education, Training and Employment, on a variety of special short and long-term projects that meeting the needs of the Education community and enhancing strategic goals.

We also offer a variety of scholarships for domestic and international students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Our cross-institutional study partnerships offer students maximum flexibility. We also have formal partnerships with the following institutions and organisations:

• Australian Defence Force Higher Education Advance Standing Scheme is an initiative allowing Defence Force members to use their education and training gained in Defence as ‘advanced standing’ or credit towards specific university-awarded qualifications.
• Hear and Say Worldwide aims to prevent, identify and treat hearing loss in babies and young children. Its partnership with USQ allows postgraduate students to claim recognised prior learning on completion of an Advanced Diploma in Listening and Spoken Language Specialties.
• SEGi University College - Malaysia has had a close relationship with USQ since 2001, when that university’s students first began studying USQ’s Bachelor of Early Childhood program. Increasingly, these students have chosen to continue studying with us by completing postgraduate study.
