So who exactly are we?

We are a diverse group of hand-picked UQ students from a wide range of disciplines. Ranging from backgrounds in Marketing, Advertising, Economics, Communications and I.T, we have a spread of talents allowing us to tackle any problem.

Newish was created to be a place of work-integrated learning where we can apply skills learned in the classroom to real-life solutions.
