UNDERgRADUATE PROSPECTUS - Study Brisbane

HELPING YOU LEARN
Attending university is not just about lectures: other services are available to help you
achieve your study goals. At UQ we are fortunate to have world-class facilities that will
ensure you do just that.
There’s no doubt that most
students spend a lot of their time
in the Uni Library. To me, the UQ
Library is the most useful facility
provided. It’s a comfortable and
perfect study environment, there
are thousands of e-books with
super-fast speed internet, and
it’s great for group meetings as
private rooms are provided.
