I've studied none of those.

QUT operates its own news program which is aired on the Bris31 network. The best journalism (academically and aesthetically!) students are offered experience there. But there is no guarantee. You need an entry rank of 92 to study journalism, the other majors you mention are not as demanding.

QUT has reported how the creative industries faculty performed in 2005. You can read it, they seem very honest and specific and admit the bad along with the good: http://www.appu.qut.edu.au/coursedev/course_qa/fapr_archive/ci_fapr_05.pdf

lmao took me a while to realise who it was!!! HAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
well this is an old thread ... but theres been a whole 3 threads in here so its ok.
I like QUT, have been there 6 months, go to GP campus though, n creative industries is at KG. Been to KG a few times, and i think it looks really nice well, its nicely spaced out, gardens, nice new modern buildings (but comfortable not weird new freaky architecture lol)
I like GP cause its quite a small campus, can walk from one side to the other in a few minutes and its not massive hills or anything (like UQ) so its quite easy to get around.
As for the courses themselves, i wouldnt have a clue lol. but come here anyway
they have open days in term 3 i think, on a saturday of a random weeekend, the website tells u all about it - closer to the dates.
www.qut.edu.au
http://www.qut.edu.au/study/futurestud.jsp gives info about the courses n stuff.
They have talks about each course and what it is and why you should pick it, so if yo uahve no idea about it they're worth going to, but if you've read up on it a bit they're really quite boring. lol.
Downside to QUT is no on-campus accomodation. upside is u can live in my college !!!

I've had my eye on the creative writing course for a while. I'm hoping that by the time I get there, its still available. Not available, but I can be accepted. The current acceptance OP is 11 and above.
