Our university
Preparing you for tomorrow
We’re an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they’ll need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.
Our university
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a major Australian university with a truly global outlook. Home to over 50,000 students, we’re providing real-world infrastructure, learning and teaching, and graduate skills to the next generation of change-makers.
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is an ambitious institution, with a growing research output focused on technology and innovation. QUT ranks in the world’s top 200 universities.
Our strategic plan establishes QUT as ‘the university for the real world’ and charts our provision of transformative education and research that is relevant to our communities.
With more than 50,000 students across two inner-city campuses in Brisbane, QUT offers academic programs in fields spanning business, creative industries, education, engineering, health, law, science, and social justice.
Real-world university
We are transforming the learning experience, embedding work integrated learning, and focusing on developing entrepreneurial skills. We offer executive education and professional development through QUTeX, flexible learning through QUT Online, and pathways into our undergraduate programs through QUT College.
QUT is well-known for our strong links to industry and government, and our inter-disciplinary teams create high-impact research in areas as diverse as climate change mitigation, digital media, materials science, and biomedical innovation.
QUT is committed to embedding Indigenous Australian cultures, knowledges, and perspectives across everything we do, and through our Campus to Country strategy we are in the process of transforming our campuses to reflect the past and present culture of Indigenous Australians.
Faculties and schools
Explore our faculties and schools and the real-world learning experiences and research they are engaged in.
Connections
With a commitment to enhancing the staff and student experience and doubling Indigenous enrolments over the next five years, Connections – the QUT Strategy 2023 to 2027 – is a bold plan to transform the learning experience.
The strategy connects aspiration to opportunity for our students and staff, it expands pathways for our Indigenous Australian students, and it builds supportive research environments. The strategy outlines our ambition to enrol up to 60,000 students a year across our urban campuses in the next five years which will include rebuilding our international student base.
QUT will also develop a curriculum transformation approach that responds to demand from students to support their journey from high school to graduation and beyond and reinforces the value of professional connections within the curriculum.
Our strategic evolution
Connections – the QUT Strategy 2023 to 2027 – articulates our shared vision for the future of QUT – the university for the real world. Connections informs our renewed purpose – to provide transformative education, student experiences and research relevant to our communities.
Connections strengthens the commitment to Indigenous Australian Excellence as outlined in our most recent Blueprint 6 strategy.
The Blueprint had a strong focus on ensuring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are heard, through increasing the Indigenous Australian staff and research focus and further developing Indigenous Australian researchers. It is also committed to increasing our Indigenous Australian student intake and providing dedicated support to Indigenous students.
The Indigenous artwork which features in Blueprint 6 is by Aboriginal graphic designer and artist Keisha Thomason. She is a proud Waanyi and Kalkadoon (Mount Isa, Queensland) and Chinese woman. Her artwork style is contemporary, influenced by her culture, identity and the modern world. We have continued that through Connections.
Our history
Although the name Queensland University of Technology has only been used since 1989, the institutions that came before have made us the university we are today.
The Brisbane campuses of QUT are situated on the land of the Turrbal and Yugara people. We acknowledge that these sites have historically been a place of teaching and learning.
We aspire to be the university of choice for Indigenous Australians, and we’re embedding Indigenous Australian culture into everything we do.
With more than 50,000 students and offering more than 200 courses and research programs, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a modern university for the real world.
We began operating as QUT in January 1989, following approval of our status as a university.
But our history truly begins in colonial times…
Brisbane School of Arts 1849
The Brisbane School of the Arts began as a place of recreation, with a library, public debates and lectures.
Eventually, the school developed a stronger educational focus, offering two drawing classes in 1881.
In 1882, the Brisbane School of the Arts became the Brisbane Technical College.
Brisbane Technical College 1882
Initially, only 80 students attended the Brisbane Technical College. After the economic depression of the early 1890s, enrolments rose to more than 1,000 students in 1897.
Brisbane Technical College was the largest institution in Queensland in the 19th century.
In 1908, the Queensland Parliament passed the Technical Instruction Act, and Brisbane Technical College became the Central Technical College.
Central Technical College 1908
Central Technical College became a key institution for apprenticeship and vocational training for both men and women, with courses such as mathematics, literature, healthcare, and industrial electronics.
After World War II, the college expanded to a site in South Brisbane. By the early 1960s, Central Technical College had more than 13,000 students and had further expanded its courses.
Eventually, the professional and technical courses offered at Central Technical College moved to the Queensland Institute of Technology.
Brisbane Kindergarten Training College 1911
Established in 1911 with an initial enrolment of five students, by 1929 the Brisbane Kindergarten Training College offered two separate courses.
By the end of the 1930s, student numbers had increased to 25, and in 1946 the college introduced a three-year course and the number of students steadily increased.
Brisbane Kindergarten Training College was renamed the Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College in 1965.
Campuses and facilities
Gardens Point campus
Our architecture and built environment, business, engineering, information technology, law, mathematics and science students are based at Gardens Point, right in the centre of Brisbane.
The main campus of our communication, creative industries, design, education, health and justice students, Kelvin Grove is located in the thriving Kelvin Grove Village.
You may be able to apply for scholarships that cover tuition fees for all or part of your course. If you receive a QUT-funded scholarship you won’t need to pay tuition fees for your research degree, if you complete your degree within:
a maximum of 4 years full-time (or equivalent) for doctoral students (PhD and professional doctorate)
a maximum 2 years full-time (or equivalent) for research masters students.
If you don’t receive a scholarship that covers your tuition fees, you must pay your fees directly to QUT before the start of each semester.
In 2025, the fee range for international full-fee paying students is $35,000-$43,000 annually (AUD) for research degrees and will increase to $37,600-$45,600 in 2026. To find more details check the costs in the course information.
We review fees annually.
Other study-related costs and living expenses
Your research degree may take a number of years to complete, so you need to consider your living expenses while you’re studying.
When you’re close to finishing your research, you may also need to pay for thesis proofreading and editing.
Centrelink payments
If you’re an Australian citizen or permanent visa holder and intend to apply for Centrelink payments while you study, it is important to check your eligibility first, as this will depend on your individual circumstances.
You must declare any scholarship income you receive to Centrelink as it may affect your payments.
We want to help our international students find appropriate financial aid, loans, grants, and other types of financial assistance available through government and private programs in Australia and their home countries.
Australia Awards
Australia Awards are a series of scholarships, fellowships, and grants aiming to promote knowledge, education links, and enduring ties between Australia and its neighbours.
Endeavour Awards and Fellowships are competitive, merit-based scholarships and fellowships providing opportunities for Australians to undertake study, research or professional development overseas, and for overseas citizens to do the same in Australia.
Research Training Program (RPT) grants support postgraduate research training in the higher education sector, and provide financial support to postgraduate students of exceptional research promise who undertake their higher degree by research (HDR) at an eligible Australian higher education provider (HEP).
