International students: Welcome to QASMT
The Queensland Academy for Science Mathematics and Technology (QASMT) is an Education Queensland co-educational selective-entry school and one of Australia’s highest-performing schools.
We offer international students a unique three-year academic pathway, beginning in Year 10 with our IB Diploma Preparation Programme, followed by the two-year International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme in Years 11 and 12. This structured pathway ensures students are academically, socially, and personally ready to excel in one of the world’s most respected and rigorous pre-university qualifications.
A pathway to global success
The IB develops far more than academic ability — it builds critical thinking, research skills, communication, self-management, and teamwork. Through its core elements — the Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge, and Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) — students gain the independence, resilience, and global outlook valued by universities and employers worldwide.
Our curriculum is enriched through strong partnerships with The University of Queensland, Queensland University of Technology, and Griffith University, giving students access to advanced learning opportunities, world-class facilities, and direct engagement with academic and industry experts.
A supportive, multicultural environment
With more than 70 nationalities represented, QASMT is a vibrant multicultural community where diversity is celebrated. International students receive personalised mentoring, pastoral care, and tailored support to help them adapt quickly to Australian life, thrive academically, and feel at home.
Beyond the classroom
From robotics and STEM clubs to music, sport, environmental projects, and community service, students are encouraged to explore passions, make lifelong friendships, and develop leadership skills. Our integrated support systems ensure every student can balance the demands of the IB with personal wellbeing and other pursuits.
Studying at QASMT as an international student means gaining an outstanding education, developing the skills to succeed anywhere in the world, and enjoying the unique lifestyle and opportunities that Queensland has to offer.
