Student Reviews
NEEDS TIME AND COMMITMENT
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
TRYING TO COPE UP WITH THE STUDY SUBJECT AT THE BEGINNING AWS A BIT SLOW TO CATCH UP BUT AS TIME PASSED I GOT INTO IT QUITE WELL
Although USQ is a great university, I need to do on campus study.
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I am doing a Preparation course online to give me the Prerequisites for further study into the fields surrounding Mathematics and Physics. Due to the course being online it didn't engage me as much and I did not try as hard as I could. USQ is a great university but I do not want to do online study.
Online study rocks!
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Online course was suitable for my way of life. Supervisors helpful at all times. Communication with Uni exceptional.
