Ariane Anderson is grateful to have access to Indigenous student scholarships to support her study in the Bachelor of Oral Health at CQUniversity.

Until a few years ago, Mojibul Sajjad lived near the Tropic of Cancer in Bangladesh and he's now brought his family to the Tropic of Capricorn in Rockhampton, so he can progress a Masters degree with CQUniversity.

Despite being a chemical engineer, with more than 10 years' experience in managing, design and installation of natural gas pipelines and networks for a broad range of clients in her home country of Romania, Iuliana Cismaru initially found it difficult to secure employment when she migrated to Australia around five years ago.

Not deterred, she has secured a Masters scholarship with CQUniversity, evaluating the best corrosion-resistant materials to use in a shale oil refinery proposed for the Gladstone region.

CQUniversity's Anthony Weber will be able to bring a paramedic academic perspective to the table, as he's been invited to join the Queensland Trauma Registry, a case study review program involving around 20 public hospitals and the University of Queensland.

Mr Weber's input as a senior lecturer in Paramedic Science will be valuable as the Registry strives for evidence-based practice through data collection, clinical review and scientific research.
