Innovation, creativity and cutting-edge research define this public university that boasts campuses with some of the best locations in central Brisbane.

Spend some time at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and see the institution that attracts some of the brightest minds in Australia.

Take a walk around the Gardens Point Campus to observe a unique blend of modern and historic architecture. Enjoy the leafy surrounds of this location that is surrounded by a loop of the Brisbane River and flanked by the gorgeous City Botanic Gardens. QUT has existed at this site in some form or other since 1849, but only achieved university status in 1988.

Get tickets to a show at the Gardens Theatre, which offers a full calendar of live performance. Choose from professional productions, student performances and interactive events for children.

Admire the heritage-listed Old Government House, a sandstone gem that is hidden away in the heart of the campus. Explore this important piece of the city’s colonial history where 11 state governors and their families once presided. The building was built in 1862 and remains beautifully preserved.

Inside Old Government House is the William Robinson Gallery. Examine the prize-winning paintings of this distinguished Australian artist and read about his inspirations and life.

Learn something new at the Science and Engineering Centre. Here children can experience the magic of The Cube, one of the biggest digital display systems in the world. Interact with the touch screen panels and find out about the amazing developments occurring in the world of science.

Get in touch with your artistic side with a visit to the QUT Art Museum. This eclectic gallery has a collection of over 2,000 works and admission is free.

If you are keen to experience more of QUT, head to the Kelvin Grove Campus to check out the Creative Industries Precinct. Experimental movies, digital installations and arts festivals are showcased here at various times of the year. This campus is about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) north of the city and is accessible by public buses.

A visit to QUT is guaranteed to be an exciting learning experience for the whole family.

7.8/10 Good! (682 reviews)

Basic unit. Fine not good. Internet did not work the entire time I stayed and no communication from staff to help despite letting them know. I stayed on the side of the building facing the city and despite being several floors up was kept up all night from the sound of the garage door opening and closing. Maybe other units are better (of course I imagine each has its own owner and some may be better decorated or cared for than others…) The unit I stayed in was not very well cared for: carpets needed a steam clean, burn marks all over carpet, mould stains in shower grout, marks all over the walls in the living room, no coat hangers or clothes pegs provided, ironing board cover so thin I had to use a towel on it to not ruin my clothes. There were also noisy neighbours on either side of my unit - one unit played very loud music so much it was rattling their door! (although thankfully my unit door blocked most of the noise once inside). Office communication was limited at best (especially after I’d paid the security bond, not a credit card hold but a full payment that I have to wait to be refunded). Location: It is about a 5 min walk to the cultural centre so good for transport, close to Woolworths metro, coffee shops and restaurants, and the arts precinct. So location is pretty good. Car parking was available but I didn’t use. The place is acceptable but not great. If I had a choice I’d probably stay somewhere else next time -unless I could get a nicer unit and/or higher floor.
