Being the only full-service university campus in the Brisbane CBD gives us close access to our corporate neighbours, and we utilise this access to offer career resources including internships and industry projects.
Internship Program
The BGSB has formed relationships with a number of companies through the Internship Program for its MBA students. These companies have assisted the BGSB in recruitment, unit and awards sponsorship, internships, research projects and industry analysis.
CEED Program
The CEED (Cooperative Education for Enterprise Development) project provides a Scholarship of $2,750 and 3 days work per week within a company for postgraduate students of the School of Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations (AMPR) and the School of Accountancy. For further information on CEED projects visit CEED Website.
2007 Australia Korea Internship Program
The 2007 Australia Korea Internship Program was held on 4 December 2006 by the Australia Korea Foundation for Postgraduate and Final Year Students of the School of Accountancy. It is an annual event in which an internship for 2 months is awarded in Seoul where the student works for a major multinational Korean company.
Advisory Committee
Our real-world connections also extend to our Advisory Committee, which is a group of industry professionals who combine with our senior academic staff to provide input into our curriculum and general strategic direction. The Advisory Committee also has a number of international members who bring a global perspective.
Brisbane Executive Club
An associated organisation made up of current and past BGSB students, the Brisbane Executive Club (BEC) offers electronic and face to face networking opportunities, locally and internationally, the opportunity for alumni to gain reduced fee access to the latest course unit offerings, as well as ongoing access to staff and student expertise.
QUT Career Series
QUT’s Careers & Employment section establishes relationships with employers by offering them a comprehensive range of services for graduate recruitment.
These services help to raise the profile of a company with QUT students and provide organisations with an opportunity to recruit from QUT's student body.
QUT's Career Mentor scheme connects career mentors with students to provide an appreciation of the workplace culture and challenges of their chosen profession.
Student Competitions
BGSB students compete in a number of domestic and international competitions as part of their MBA studies, which provide ‘real-life’ links to business and industry.
The BGSB is host of the John Heine Entrepreneurial Challenge which simulates the process of entrepreneurs soliciting start-up funds from investors. Students prepare a plan for a real business which is judged by real entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.
