Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is one of Australia’s leading tertiary institutions, offering an extensive choice of innovative undergraduate courses. The strength is the balanced mix of theory and practical experience in leading-edge courses which prepare graduates for employment. QUT continues to outperform Queensland and Australian average rates for graduate employment. The highly qualified full-time teaching staff is complemented by practising professionals who lecture and tutor part-time. They bring their up-to-date knowledge and practical experience of industry and the professions to the classroom, allowing students to become involved in real projects.
