About
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real-world' focus. With around 50,000 students, including approximately 9000 international students from more than 120 countries, QUT maintains close links with business representatives and industry professionals who contribute to course development and lend practical perspectives to students’ theoretical education. QUT is located in subtropical Brisbane, which is Australia’s third largest city and known for its vibrant urban precincts, outdoor lifestyle, friendly locals, superb climate and safety, by world standards.
QUT offers hundreds of undergraduate and postgraduate study options that include extensive research programs and delivers real world outcomes for students through its provision of leading academics, state-of the-art-teaching facilities and a focussed approach to learning.
The university also offers a range of fully-online postgraduate qualifications through QUT Online and through QUTeX offers education programs, from one-day skills development courses to Executive MBAs, designed to accelerate careers and organisational performance.
Real World Opportunities
A QUT degree provides opportunities to gain practical workplace experience and valuable industry connections. QUT produces world-class research across a range of disciplines and has been awarded six Australian Laureate Fellowships since 2000, the latest to Professor Christopher Barner-Kowollik, Professor Dmitri Golberg and Distinguished Professor Kerrie Mengersen - who is also the first female to be awarded the Pitman Medal for her work with Bayesian statistics.
Alumni of QUT include world-leading NASA astrobiologist and Co-leader for the Mars 2020 Rover Mission, Dr Abigail Allwood, and Tashi Chhozom, the first woman to be appointed Justice of the Supreme Court in Bhutan. The QUT Business School was the first business school in Australia to achieve triple international accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA), a distinction held by less than 1% of business schools worldwide.
As a multi-campus institution, QUT accommodates an internationally and nationally awarded Science and Engineering Centre which incorporates one of the world’s largest and most advanced digital interactive learning and display spaces (The Cube). 2016 saw a major expansion of the Creative Industries Precinct while the new Education Precinct opened in 2019.
The university has two major thematically focused research institutes: The Institute for Future Environments and the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation. Additionally, QUT leads seven nationally endorsed research and training centres including the ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre in Additive Biomanufacturing and the ARC Centre of Excellence in Robotic Vision.
QUT’s Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove campuses are home to high-tech libraries and study spaces, fitness facilities, arts and performance venues, shops and cafes. Centralised student services support and access to medical services and counselling are also provided.
Learning spaces are designed to encourage students to collaborate and are equipped with built-in technology that can be customised to suit different classes.

The Creative Industries Precinct provides open areas where students can learn and practise together and has become a destination for local, national and international productions, exhibitions and events that showcase emerging digital and new media work. The new Education Precinct includes a futuristic design providing excellent facilities for social interaction and recreation.
