The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a public research university located in the coastal city of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia.[6] It has two major campuses, a modern city campus in Gardens Point and a historical campus in Kelvin Grove.[7] The university offers courses in fields including architecture, engineering, information technology, healthcare, teaching, law, arts and design, science and mathematics.[8][9]

QUT operated as the Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT) established in 1965 before receiving royal charter to operate as a university by act of Parliament of Queensland in 1988.[10] Queensland University of Technology commenced operations the following year in January 1989.[11] The Brisbane College of Advanced Education, an amalgamation of tertiary colleges dating back to 1849, merged with QUT in 1990 expanding to its Kelvin Grove site.[12]

In 2022, QUT enrolled 50,216 students, including 37,860 undergraduate and 11,760 postgraduate students and employed 4,675 regular staff members.[13] 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.[14] It is eighth largest university in Australia by enrolment and the second-largest in Queensland.[15]

QUT was formerly a member of the Australian Technology Network of universities, but withdrew participation on 28 September 2018.[16][17] 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.[18][19][20]
