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.
