CQU has attributed its export success to its reputation for helping students at every stage of their study journey.

The University has welcomed news that it has again won the Education category at the Premier of Queensland's Export Awards announced in Brisbane on Thursday night (October 27).

CQU is now eligible to represent Queensland at the national export awards dinner on December 1.

Last time CQU won the State-level Education exporter category (2002), it went on to win the Education Exporter of the Year Award at national level.

The University has experienced its best year for export growth, with a 38.6% boost to international enrolments (compared with an industry average for Australia of 4.6%).

CQU has retained its first in Queensland ranking for the most international full-degree students onshore and is now ranked second in Australia in this category.

The University’s model of export success has been the powerhouse behind its growth and global reach. Around 9000 international students from more than 120 overseas countries study with CQU. Almost half (more than $100 million) of the University’s total income is generated from export revenue.

CQU’s distributed network of campus operations range from five regional Queensland campuses to four CBD campuses in Australia and four offshore delivery sites in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Fiji, plus distance education.

The University has strong commercial partnerships for the delivery of international education activity, including those with C Management Services (an Australian-based company which is half-owned by CQU) and Raffles Education Corporation based in Singapore.ENDS.
