Queensland University of Technology (QUT)

[EduCativ]

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a real-world focus. We are one of the nation's fastest-growing research universities, and our courses are in high demand. Our graduates include eight Rhodes Scholars, five of these awarded in the past six years.

We are 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. We are transforming the student experience we offer our 50,000 students, and we place a premium on the international and national accreditation of our various professional degrees.

Our internationally award-winning Science and Engineering Centre is home to The Cube, acknowledged as one of the world's largest digital interactive learning and display spaces. We established the world's first Creative Industries Faculty, and we invest heavily in collaborative learning and interdisciplinary research environments.

We're well known as 'a university for the real world' because of our close links with industry and our relevant teaching and applied research. Industry representatives and professionals contribute to our course development, adding a practical perspective to theoretical education. Our academic staff consult in industry and work on industry projects which often involve students. Staff and students have access to the latest teaching technology.

Over the years, QUT has grown and changed. From the Brisbane School of Arts establishment in 1849, we have been at the forefront of innovation and progress in tertiary education. Although the name QUT has only been used since 1989, the institutions that came before us made us the university we are today.

We aim to create the next generation of leaders in the industry, research, and society. By embracing change and new developments in learning and teaching, we're prepared to meet future challenges. The Blueprint is our institutional plan, identifying the significant priorities and broad strategies at the center of our planning process. We're dedicated to encouraging and promoting research and student engagement in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Our Real-World Learning 2020 Vision outlines our clear aspirations for our graduates and learner experiences, consistent with our distinctive identity as a university for the real world.
