Mr Zhi Jie Keith Low received the distinguished honour of a Dean’s Commendation
for High Achievement in the Bachelor of Engineering program:
“Some of the things I like most about UQ are the helpful and approachable lecturers,
and the continuous assessment throughout the semester,which means all our results
don’t depend on the final exam alone.
“I have made friends from all over the world. There is no other place I have been where
there is such an opportunity to meet people from all over the globe.
“The field trips in my program were great and the companies welcomed us with open
arms, which further strengthened my belief that UQ’s chemical engineering graduates
have a great reputation in the industry.”
