Who can be a student partner?
Any person who is a currently enrolled student at UQ (international or domestic, undergraduate or postgraduate, including HDR) can apply to become a Student Partner!
As a Student Partner you will have the opportunity to effect change at the University, to connect with diverse students and staff from across the University and to collaborate on a project which will be informed by YOUR ideas, insights and experiences.
In a project you might be involved in co-designing learning resources, co-creating extra-curricular experiences, or even co-authoring university strategies (just to name a few).
