2.1.1 Vision and goals

QUT is a leading university of technology which aims to strengthen its distinctive national and international reputation by combining academic strength and practical engagement with the world of the professions, industry, government, and the broader community.

In line with this aim, QUT's overall vision for the future is:

  • to provide outstanding learning environments and programs that lead to excellent outcomes for graduates, enabling them to work in and guide a world characterised by increasing change;
  • to undertake high-impact research and development in selected areas, at the highest international standards, reinforcing the University's applied emphasis and securing significant commercial and practical outcomes; and
  • to strengthen and extend the University's strategic partnerships with professional and broader communities to reflect both its academic ambitions and its civic responsibility.

Five key goals will guide QUT's progress towards attaining this vision:

  • to build research capacity in selected areas;
  • to strengthen the University's reputation for quality teaching and learning and provide among the best learning environments in Australia ;
  • to strengthen the University's “real-world” positioning in teaching and research through better partnerships across internal and external boundaries;
  • to integrate information and communications technology into teaching, research, business support functions and infrastructure; and
  • to develop environments that foster and reward high-quality scholarship and that build a sense of community.
