Our Vision

With a commitment to enhancing the staff and student experience and doubling Indigenous enrolments over the next five years, Connections– the QUT Strategy 2023 to 2027 – is a bold plan to transform the learning experience.
Our strategy establishes QUT as ‘the university for the real world’, and charts our provision of transformative education, student experiences, and research that is relevant to our communities.

The strategy connects aspiration to opportunity for our students and staff, it expands pathways for our Indigenous Australian students, and it builds supportive research environments.

QUT will also develop a curriculum transformation approach that responds to demand from students to support their journey from high school to graduation and beyond and reinforces the value of professional connections within the curriculum.
