Study at one of our two campuses – Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove – in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland. Brisbane is one of the world's most livable cities, boasting a warm climate, friendly people and a relaxed lifestyle.

Gardens Point is the only full-service university campus in Brisbane’s city center. Situated on the Brisbane River next to the City Botanic Gardens, the location reinforces QUT’s links with business and industry while creating a dynamic, beautiful environment for students.
Known as QUT’s “hilltop” campus, Kelvin Grove is a little more than 1 mile from the city center and only a 10-minute bus drive from the Gardens Point campus via the free intercampus bus.

Campus Activities

Try QUT’s range of recreational services to make the most of all aspects of campus life. Join one of QUT’s 70 different clubs such as abseiling, diving, bushwalking, cycling and rollerblading, just to name a few.

You also can take advantage of the gym, swimming pool and tennis and squash courts.

Housing

Participants in the Study Australia QUT program will live in furnished, self-catering off-campus apartments. We offer several highquality options with most students opting to live within walking distance of campus at our city apartments. The units are also within walking distance of downtown Brisbane and other vibrant districts nearby. In addition, we offer more residential housing, subject to availability, that requires a short bus or ferry commute to campus. All housing options in Brisbane are managed by Study Australia and meet our high accommodation standards. Click here for more information about Study Australia Premier Housing.
