Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is a relatively young university, but it has been steadily gaining a reputation for being cutting edge in technological areas including Science and Engineering and Information Technology.

With an annual income of approximately $1 Billion it is half the size of its bigger competitor, however QUT has a prominent and enviable location right on the doorstep of the Brisbane CBD adjoining the Botanical Gardens.

Other universities lag behind, as QUT gives its Information Technology students solid exposure to the latest and most widely used technologies, languages and frameworks. With decades of QUT graduates now established in their careers within some of the most technical companies and businesses within Brisbane, they are increasingly having influence over the hiring decisions of those companies. As a result new graduates from QUT are finding their education more highly regarded within the industry.
