"An Information Technology degree is valuable simply because a lot of businesses need a lot of people with IT skills. The Australian Computer Society is projecting a shortfall of something like 1000 computer security and data mining specialists for the next few years. The industry is crying out for people. New technology can come along, and the software can be copied, but getting people to actually drive it cannot simply be replicated, it’s something that must be trained. Our IT degrees enable our students to fill these positions, and open their eyes to the potential of what’s possible in this sector. I highly value being able to give them insight to what’s actually happening behind the scenes. You pull aside the curtain, and maybe there’s just a small man saying “don’t look at the man behind the curtain!”; there’s a lot of that going on. It’s always good to point out “this is what the textbook said, but this is what actually happened”, and to encourage critical thinking.

Our students enjoy a campus where students are not just numbers in a crowd. Here students know who the lecturer is, and the lecturer can recognise every student's face. It is a much more personable experience that enhances their learning."

Dr Paul Darwen Associate Dean, Information Technology

“I love what I am studying so much, it’s completely new and exciting for me. The professors here are so knowledgeable, and always ready to help you if you have any questions. Their teaching methods are very different to that in Mongolia and I am really enjoying it so much.

I would recommend JCU Brisbane because of the amazing professors and also because class sizes are intimate, which gives you plenty of interaction and engagement with the teaching staff.

“My university experiences at JCU Brisbane have been amazing. Upon doing the Master of Education/ Master of Business Administration programme I was exposed to learning subjects that talked curriculum, pedagogy and different kinds of learning techniques used today. It was fairly new to me and I felt like it enhanced my knowledge. JCU Brisbane is a very welcoming place, and from the very first day, I felt really warm and at home here because of the small class size, and all the events that keep happening, this gave me the opportunity to study new things and also meet and make new friends.”

Bringing FamilySpouses and children can join the student in Australia but each family member must be added to the student visa application, and certain conditions will apply depending on the age of each family member.If the children will be attending school while in Australia, school fees will need to be paid for them. For more information, visit: www.eqi.com.au

ESOS Act and Tuition Protection ServiceAs a provider of education services to international students in Australia, James Cook University is required to comply with the Education Services for Overseas Students Act (ESOS Act) and the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students (The National Code). The ESOS legislation and National Code, specify minimum standards for the delivery of courses to students in Australia studying on a student visa and regulate what information must be given to existing and prospective international students, what support must be provided to existing students, what records are kept and what information is to be given to government agencies about international students. For more information visit the ESOS Act webpage.JCU’s Tuition Fee Policy for International Students applies to overseas students who do not commence their studies with JCU, or withdraw before their course is completed. The policy sets out the circumstances in which a student is entitled to a refund as required under the ESOS Act, and can be found at: www.jcu.edu.au/policy/student-services

Important InformationThe Tuition Protection Service (TPS) is a placement and refund service for international students studying on a student visa which also operates under the ESOS Act. On the rare occasions that a provider is unable to deliver a course an international student has paid for and does not

meet its legal obligations to make alternative course replacements or provide a refund, the TPS will assist students to find an alternative place or, if this is not possible, provide a refund of any unspent tuition fees. For further information see: www.tps.gov.au

Deferral, Temporary Suspension or Cancellation of EnrolmentThe ESOS National Code and student visa conditions contain restrictions on when students, or JCU, can defer, suspend or cancel a student enrolment. Deferring commencement of study, or taking a leave of absence once studies have commenced can only take place when there are compassionate or compelling reasons for doing so. A “compassionate or compelling reason” is something which is beyond the student’s control and which has, or will have, an impact on academic progress or wellbeing. The university may suspend a student temporarily, enforcing a break from study, in certain circumstances. For more information on deferral, suspension and cancellation of study see our website.

Registration and Orientation WeekRegistration and Orientation at JCU Brisbane is compulsory for all newly enrolled students to attend. This week is spent ensuring that all students are correctly registered and enrolled in their program, receive their student cards and get their student logins, so they can start their chosen course and subjects on time.Registration and Orientation is also a campus-wide celebration for students commencing their studies
