BRISBANE

QUT's location in QueenslandQUT's three campuses are located in Brisbane, the capital city of the state of Queensland, Australia. Brisbane itself has a population of 1.7 million people while the greater Brisbane area, which includes Brisbane city and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, has almost two million people.

Brisbane is a modern and vibrant city that is small enough to be welcoming while still big enough to have all the attractions you would expect of a major capital city. Brisbane is known as Australia’s most liveable city because it is clean and safe, and has a subtropical climate of warm summers and cool, sunny winters.
