Welcome and acknowledgement of country
Good day and welcome to the National Virtual Expo. My name is Rob Malicki from Choosing Your Uni and I'm coming to you today from Garigal land in Sydney. I pay respects to elders past and present who have been custodians of this land for literally tens of thousands of years.
Why QUT is worth your attention
This session is an absolutely awesome moment. We're talking about the Queensland University of Technology. I'm a huge fan of QUT. It's an institution that has some extraordinary areas of strength, some extracurricular programmes that I absolutely love, and its location in Brisbane. Brisbane's one of my favourite cities for students in all of Australia. This institution's got a lot going for it.
Who this session is for and how to ask questions
This session is specifically for students who are in Year 12 and thinking about going to QUT. But if you are not a Year 12 student, there's still some really great information in here about the institution, and you can ask any question you've got about QUT in the chat, wherever that is for you -- whether you're on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or YouTube, or right here on the session hub on the Choosing Your Uni Virtual Expo webpage.
Anything that we don't manage to get to today, or if you're watching this on the recording, you can ask your questions via the Choosing Your Uni Discord -- details are down in the session description below. We also have a Facebook community just for parents. So make sure you ask your questions as we go along, and we will be answering them either live as part of the session or in those various groups.
Without further ado, let's go and hear from QUT.
