Aspiration and inclusion

Dear QUT Graduate

What are your aspirations this year?

QUT is committed to serving the wider community and we are working to build aspiration and pathways to success for all.

In March, we welcomed internationally acclaimed playwright and artistic director Wesley Enoch AM, as QUT’s Indigenous Chair in the Creative Industries. An Australian first, this philanthropically endowed Chair is an ambition we’ve long been working towards.

From amplifying Indigenous perspectives and aspiring to become the most gender-equitable university in Australia, we are committed to providing opportunities for everyone to realise their full potential.

Stay up to date with news, events, and resources below.
