Year 10 chess player Jacob Petersen from Biloela, Central Queensland, made a big move in 2008 by starting university while still in school, studying business computing and human anatomy at CQUniversity through the Start Uni Now (SUN) program, which allows students from years 10 to 12 to enrol in university courses. Under the programs, Jacob could be able to fast-track a degree once he finishes school, provided he enrols in a CQUniversity degree program which offers the courses he’s currently studying. Who we are and what we do CQUniversity Australia (Central Queensland University) is often described as a regional university, but we do not fit a standard university type or description. Whilst we are a Rockhampton-based public university catering primarily to Central Queenslanders and flexible learning (distance education) students, approximately half of our students are taught by, and almost half of our revenue is derived from, a wholly-owned, for-profit company (CMS) which services the needs of international students at our campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. In 1967, the University commenced operations as the Queensland Institute of Technology (Capricornia) and in 1971 became the Capricornia Institute of Advanced Education. It was renamed the University College of Central Queensland in 1990 and gained full university status on 1 January 1992. At that time the University was known as the University of Central Queensland. The name was changed on 1 January 1994 to Central Queensland University. In 2008, the University became known as “CQUniversity Australia”. CQUniversity’s predecessor embraced and became expert in distance education, pioneering a mixed study mode which diminished the distinctions between full-time and part-time and on-campus and off-campus study. We learned and benefited from that experience, opening our first international campus in Sydney in 1994 and later forming a public-private partnership (CMS, which we fully acquired last year) unlike any other that dramatically changed the face of Australian higher education, making CQUniversity the leading provider of education to international students in Australia in 2006. 13
