Connections with industry

Almost 1,200 local and national businesses have directly contributed to the student learning experience of QUTopia since its inception. This engagement with industry - through donation of real products or in the capacity of mentoring - enables students to make strong connections between theory and practice.

Industry mentors provide advice to students in person and online, via feedback posted in response to student videos posted on QUTopia TV, a YouTube clone site designed and purpose-built for QUTopia. Local mentors will often also attend the Market Days to interact with students.
