Research: practical solutions for the real world

QUT’s rapid growth in research performance has consolidated our position as one of the nation’s leading universities for end-user inspired research.

Since 1989 QUT’s research profile has expanded at a rate significantly above the Australian sector average and we are consistently one of the top recipients of funding through the Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage program. QUT’s global standing is further enhanced by research funding from international organisations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and World Health Organisation.

If you have a passion for discovery, for seeing things in a new way or love the challenge of solving important problems, you should consider a research degree at QUT.

Brisbane, Australia – the perfect place to live and learn

Located on the east coast of Australia, in the state of Queensland, Brisbane has been voted one of the world’s most liveable cities with a sub-tropical climate, friendly people, relaxed and safe lifestyle, and affordable cost of living ( Economist Intelligence United 2005 survey).

From the vibrant river city you can explore what Queensland offers – stunning national parks, the Great Barrier Reef, and the world-famous beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are only an hour away.

Unbeatable campus locations and living

QUT’s Gardens Point campus is the only city university campus with comprehensive facilities in the Brisbane central business district, situated next to the beautiful Botanic Gardens and the Brisbane River.

QUT’s Kelvin Grove campus is only 10 minutes away, and is the site of an exciting first for Queensland. The award-winning Kelvin Grove Urban Village is setting a new benchmark for student accommodation and inner urban development. Students can easily walk to the city or university, and benefit from brand-new student accommodation and a range of facilities within a convenient and safe village atmosphere.

And a free campus shuttle bus for QUT students connects all campuses.

Support services that work

At QUT you can be sure you'll receive personal attention and support, including several unique career development services such as the International Careers Fair, an International Careers Counsellor and the Career Mentor Scheme.

These services provide opportunities for you to gain real-world experience, in Australia or your home country, while you study and get you into your career sooner.

The student experience “As QUT is a university for the real world, things we learn in class are applicable to global business practices on all levels. Assignments often require students to work with companies and suggest suitable solutions to business problems. Because of this practical approach, I know I’ll have the confidence to work in Hong Kong’s competitive business environment when I graduate.” Kelly Chan (Singapore) Bachelor of Business – Management
