USQ Springfield launches new website

With the launch of a new website there is now no longer a need for University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Springfield campus to put into words just how connected they are – students can see it for themselves.

Designed for prospective students, the new website showcases a series of short movies filmed around the campus.

The movies give students a snapshot of what they can expect at Springfield campus; including students, lecturers, the campus and neighbours.

USQ Springfield Director Doug Fraser said the new website had been launched to coincide with the school holidays and the festive season, a time when many prospective students were making career decisions.

'By looking at our website students can get a snapshot of what life would be like for them at Springfield campus,' Mr Fraser said.

'Our campus offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs across Arts, Business, Education, Engineering, Law and Psychology.

'We have three semesters, allowing far greater flexibility; you can either speed things up or slow them down to suit your needs.

'It's all about individual needs. In most programs you will have the opportunity for work-integrated learning with placements in real work environments.

'Work-integrated learning is designed to expose students to current industry demands and mentoring opportunities as well as invaluable contact for future employment opportunities and career development.'

Mr Fraser said increasingly, mature age students were looking to further or change their careers through postgraduate education.

'These students have particular needs and often have to juggle work, family and study at the same time.

'We understand that postgraduates may have already started their careers so we have designed an intensive workshop mode program to fit a semester's lectures into six days.

'For students who are working, full-time intensive workshop mode is the best of both worlds. It still provides the flexibility to find time for work and family while you study.'
