As Queensland’s only dual-sector university, we provide flexible study pathways, industry-aligned training, and personalised support to help our students succeed, wherever they are.

Our strong regional focus, inclusive approach, and leadership in online learning ensure our students receive a quality education, no matter their location or background.

Acknowledgement of Country

CQUniversity acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which work and learn. We recognise their deep and ongoing connection to this land, its seas, skies, and waterways, and the role they continue to play in caring for Country.

We also honour their right to self-determination, acknowledging the importance of their guidance and leadership in shaping our futures.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, honouring their wisdom, leadership, and the cultural traditions they uphold.

May their strength and connection to the land guide us.
