What our graduates say about our programs...
Leigh Eagle, an ex-army officer, has been a community volunteer for most of her life. She decided to do a Graduate Certificate in Business in Philanthropy and Nonprofit Studies while working in a not-for-profit organisation. "QUT's 
central city location meant it was convenient for me to get to and from work. I was able to apply the theory and practical experience from the course to my position on a day-to-day basis. Studying at QUT was a great opportunity to meet other like-minded people and, by virtue of the small class sizes and the closeness of the teaching staff and students, it has produced some long-term networks. The Graduate Certificate helped me to move on to my current position."
Leigh is the CEO of Brisbane Boarders Ltd (BBL).
