A computer laboratory is used for teaching during class hours and is available for individual student use outside class times.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

Presentations by guest speakers, excursions, films etc. are organised to give students the opportunity to learn about various aspects of Australia and an end-of-session BBQ/function is arranged for students as part of the regular English programs (General English, AECS, EAP, EIBC, ESP:TESOL and ESP:BEP). Some evening and weekend sporting and social activities are arranged outside class hours by the Activities Officer. These activities are self-funded by students.

ICTE-UQ has the flexibility to custom design group programs to meet the requirements of the client institution or organisation.
