QUT operated as the Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT) established in 1965 receiving university status by act of Parliament of Queensland in 1988.[14] Queensland University of Technology commenced operations the following year in January 1989.[15] The Brisbane College of Advanced Education, an amalgamation of tertiary colleges dating back to 1849, merged with QUT expanding to its Kelvin Grove site in 1990.[16]
In 2022, QUT enrolled 50,216 students, including 37,860 undergraduate and 11,760 postgraduate students and employed 4,675 regular staff members.[17] It also had a total income of A$1.004 billion, a total expenditure of A$1.135 billion and held A$1.849 billion in accumulated assets.[18] It is eighth largest university in Australia by enrolment and the second-largest in Queensland.[19]
QUT was formerly a member of the Australian Technology Network of universities, but withdrew participation on 28 September 2018.[20][21] The QUT Business School is one of three Triple Crown business schools in Australia and possesses accreditation by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, Association of MBAs and EQUIS.[22][23][24]
History
edit
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has a history that dates to 1849 when the Brisbane School of Arts was established. Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT) succeeded the Central Technical College and was formed in 1965.[15] The current QUT was established as a university in 1989[15] after having been several predecessor institutions listed below:
- Brisbane School of Arts (1849–1881)
- Brisbane Technical College (1882–1907)
- Central Technical College (1908–1964)
- Queensland Institute of Technology (1965–1988)
Brisbane College of Advanced Education was formed in 1982, which itself is a combination of multiple predecessor institutions shown in the list below:
- Brisbane Kindergarten Training College (1911)
- Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College (1965)
- Queensland Teachers' Training College (1914)
- Kelvin Grove Teachers College (1961)
- Kelvin Grove College of Advanced Education (1976)
- Kedron Park Teachers College (1961)
- North Brisbane College of Advanced Education (1974)
In 1988, the Queensland University of Technology Act was passed for the grant of university status to Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT). As a result, QIT was granted university status and was operational as Queensland University of Technology (QUT) beginning in January 1989. The Brisbane College of Advanced Education joined with QUT in 1990.[15]
The Gardens Point campus was once entirely housed in the 19th-century former Government House of Queensland. In 1909, during the relocation of the governor's residence, the Old Government House and the surrounding five hectares were set aside for both a university and a technical college. The first university on the site was the University of Queensland which was moved to St Lucia in 1945, where it remains today.[citation needed]
Campuses and buildings
editThis section needs additional citations for verification. (June 2021) |
Gardens Point
editGardens Point campus is located in Brisbane's city centre, beside the Brisbane River and adjacent to the City Botanic Gardens and Queensland Parliament House. At the centre of the campus is the Old Government House which was built in 1862 and re-opened in 2009.[25] The faculties of Business, Law, and Science and Engineering are based at this campus, such as other non-important facilities, such as: Basketball courts, general parks, and others.
Gardens Cultural Precinct
editGardens Point campus hosts the Gardens Cultural Precinct, comprising the Gardens Theatre and QUT Art Museum, which offer a full theatre and exhibition program.
- The QUT Art Museum houses the university's art collection, which focuses on contemporary Australian art, including painting, sculpture, decorative art and works on paper.[26] The museum opened in 2000 and attracted about 350,000 people in its first decade of operations.[27] The building is a 1930s neo-classical revivalist building designed by Peddle Thorpe Architects, Brisbane.
- The Gardens Theatre features professional theatre, children's theatre, and student showcases.[28] The Gardens Theatre is a medium-sized venue, formerly known as the Basil Jones Theatre, and was renovated with assistance from the Queensland Government. It was reopened as the Gardens Theatre in 1999 by then-Premier Peter Beattie. It provides space for QUT productions and visiting performers, and is the only theatre complex in Brisbane's central business district.
Science and Engineering Precinct
editThe Science and Engineering Precinct was completed in November 2012. It brings together teaching and research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. The A$200 million required for the precinct came from QUT (A$65 million), the Australian Government (A$75 million), the Queensland Government (A$35 million), and Atlantic Philanthropies (A$25 million).[29][30]
Kelvin Grove
editThe Kelvin Grove campus hosts the faculties of Creative Industries, Education, and Health as well as the QUT International College and the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation.
QUT Kelvin Grove Health Clinics offer services for free or low-cost services to staff, students, and the general public.
The Creative Industries Precinct architecturally designed in joint venture by KIRK (Richard Kirk Architect) + Hassell, located at Kelvin Grove campus, includes many arts and exhibition spaces open to the public:
- the Roundhouse Theatre, a large theatre venue and home of the La Boite Theatre Company.
- interactive exhibition spaces.
- an experimental black-box theatre.
- multimedia performance spaces.
- public artwork exhibition spaces.
The Precinct was built at a cost of around $60 million on the site of the Gona Barracks, an Australian Army barracks, which was decommissioned in 1998.[31][32]
Canberra Executive Education Centre
editQUT hosts a small campus in the suburb of Deakin in Canberra, called the Canberra Executive Education Centre (CEEC).[33] The CEEC provides in-person classes for QUT's Executive Master of Business Administration, which is jointly taught with an academic mission from the MIT Sloan School of Management.[34] The Centre also provides professional training and development short courses through the QUTeX brand and is an in-person hub for the QUT Public Sector Management Program (QUT PSMP).[33]
Former campuses
editCaboolture
editThe Caboolture campus, located 45 kilometres (28 mi) north of Brisbane, was co-occupied by TAFE Queensland. The campus offered undergraduate degrees in business, education, and nursing, and first-year studies in creative industries before the campus was transferred to the University of the Sunshine Coast on 8 January 2018.[35]
Carseldine
editIn November 2008, Carseldine teaching, research, and support activities were relocated to Kelvin Grove and Gardens Point campuses. This included the School of Psychology and Counselling and the School of public health and social work, as well as some business, science, and information technology subjects. The campus has since been closed and was subsequently renovated by the Queensland Government.[36] Following QUT's decision to vacate the campus and the lack of a suitable education provider to take over the site, the State Government announced plans to decentralise government services and move around 1000 employees to the remodeled former QUT buildings, which occurred post-2012.[37]
Academic profile
editQUT offers undergraduate and postgraduate coursework, graduate diplomas and certificates, and higher degree research courses (Masters and PhDs) including, but not limited to the fields listed below:
- Architecture
- Business
- Communication
- Creative Industries
- Design

In 2009, State Library of Queensland, the Queensland Library Foundation, and QUT Business School collaborated to establish the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame (QBLHOF) initiative.[42] The QBLHOF recognises outstanding contributions made by organisations, companies and individuals to develop the Queensland economy and society, both contemporary and historical. A governing committee determines a list of inductees based on a set of criteria including:
- Sustained leadership
- Major financial contribution
- Pioneering
- Outstanding contribution
- Achievement of iconic status
The inductees are announced at a gala event each year in July. Since 2014, the QBLHOF has also awarded an annual Fellowship, to recipients working on a research project that utilises the resources of the John Oxley Library to produce new interpretations of Queensland's business history.

Notable people
editControversies
editQUT has come under renewed criticism around its workplace culture, allegations of bullying and misrepresentation of job losses in 2020–21.[74] Many academic and professional staff have expressed living in fear of this workplace, in the most significant publicity the university has received in several years. Initial steps towards change in response to these claims have been made, although this has been met with scepticism by staff, citing issues with the concept of "leadership training" for executive managers, and the lack of urgency in implementing a safe method of complaint.[75]
The current vice-chancellor Margaret Sheil has been criticised for excessively lavish renovations for a private bathroom with "marble finishes" in her personal office.[74]
