QUT has diverse research strengths and a record of success in problem-solving research for industry and the community.
Unlike the traditional university model in which research is specific to disciplines, QUT has established four major multidisciplinary research institutes:
- The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation
- Pioneering research in DNA-based diagnostics and medical devices; injury prevention and rehabilitation; molecular farming; health development and disease prevention; tissue bio-regeneration to aid burns victims; vision improvement and plant biotechnology will be conducted.
- The new $60 million facility will allow over 400 researchers and staff from engineering, science and health to collaborate.
- The Information Security Institute
- The Information Security Institute builds real information security solutions for government, business and the community through research in technology, legal, policy and government issues.
- The Institute for Sustainable Resources
- This institute will provide sustainable growth and renewable resource solutions to problems in the changing environments of Queensland and other tropical and sub-tropical communities.
- Research is based around sustainable buildings and built environments; natural resource management; industry ecology; cultural and social landscapes; urban form and structure and resource use, reuse and conservation.
- The Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation
- The Institute for Creative Industries and Innovation builds on QUT's leading research in these industries by focusing on research, innovation and commercialisation of design, production, performance and writing disciplines.
- It will be located at the $60 million Creative Industries Precinct.
If you have a passion for discovery, seeing things in a new way or love the challenge of solving important problems then you should consider pursuing an honours pathway in your undergraduate degree.
A QUT research degree can lead to an exciting variety of career options and give you enhanced earning power. You may decide to go on to do a masters, professional doctorate by research or PhD.
