This agreement commits CQUniversity and DET to more intensive negotiations leading to a detailed merger agreement.

Professor Bowman said he is looking forward to working closely with DET and CQIT in coming months to create the groundwork for Queensland's first dual-sector university.

"We are looking forward to doing the groundwork throughout 2012," he said.

"This will pay off in years to come with greater study choices and career pathways for our regional students, helping them tap into our ongoing resources boom."
