When it comes to graduate outcomes, CQUniversity ranks in the top 20 per cent of Australian institutions for graduate starting salaries. We also rate very highly for graduate employment/enrolment in further study. Our industry ties and workplace integrated learning play a major role in this achievement.

Distance Education

CQUniversity is one of Australia’s leading providers of distance education. Distance education gives you the flexibility to study a university degree how and when it suits you.
As a distance education student you study the content of your degree through a number of means including the use of online lectures, online discussion forums and electronic library resources, by contacting lecturers, and receiving study materials via the post. You can also visit one of our dedicated Distance Education Study Centres in Adelaide, Cairns, Brisbane, Melbourne or Sydney.

CQUniversity prides itself on providing you with the flexibility to study your own way and realises the importance of staying connected with you. These Centres give you a place to access support, form study groups and access resources and technology.
As a distance education student you can also visit any of our campuses in Brisbane, Bundaberg, Emerald, Gladstone, Mackay, Melbourne, Noosa, Rockhampton and Sydney to access similar student support facilities and CQUniversity libraries.

Some individual courses in your degree may require you to attend residential schools on campus. These allow you to network with lecturers, students and industry specialists, while getting hands-on, practical work experience in your chosen field of study.
