CQU tops the class in Canstar Blue uni rankings in Queensland
CQUniversity has been recognised for the second consecutive year as having Queensland's most satisfied university students by Australian comparison website Canstar Blue.
CQUniversity was compared against the University of Queensland, QUT, Griffith University, University of the Sunshine Coast and University of Southern Queensland and was certified with a five-star rating for student satisfaction – the highest rating for this category.
The rating was awarded following independent market research conducted by Canstar Blue among Queensland university students who had attended a university in the last 10 years.
Those who participated were asked to rate their university on the basis of teaching staff, social aspects, learning resources, quality of education, overall satisfaction and other key categories including amenities, support services and post-graduation prospects and outcomes.
CQUniversity topped the Queensland universities review, rating best for overall student satisfaction and five stars in several other categories including quality of education, opportunities and prospects after graduation, learning resources, teaching staff and student support.
Canstar Blue noted that CQUniversity outperformed the rest of the market average across all variables, with its overall satisfaction remaining steady since last year and its student support being its biggest rating improvement.
CQUniversity's Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Nick Klomp welcomed the recognition by saying it was yet another endorsement of CQUniversity's credentials when it comes to student satisfaction and graduate outcomes.
“I’m very proud that we’ve been able to again top the Canstar Blue rankings in Queensland, highlighting our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional learning experiences and providing fantastic support for students during their learning journeys.
"CQUniversity has also performed equally as well in other rankings and ratings including the recent Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) Student Experience Survey report, the Good Universities Guide rankings, and the QS World University Rankings.
“This week’s ranking success is yet another significant milestone in CQUniversity’s journey to become Australia’s most student-centred university.
"Our current efforts are not only bolstering our rankings but are also making a significant difference in the communities we serve."
