History
File:School of Arts, Brisbane, c 1900.jpg, opened 1849, the earliest antecedent institution]]
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) has a history that dates to 1849 when the Brisbane School of Arts was established. Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT) succeeded the Central Technical College and was formed in 1965.{{citation|url=http://www.qut.edu.au/about/the-university/history|title=History|publisher=Queensland University of Technology|archive-date=5 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140705112843/https://www.qut.edu.au/about/our-university/history|url-status=live}} The current QUT was established as a university in 1989 after having been several predecessor institutions listed below:
- Brisbane School of Arts (1849–1881)
- Brisbane Technical College (1882–1907)
- Central Technical College (1908–1964)
- Queensland Institute of Technology (1965–1988)
Brisbane College of Advanced Education was formed in 1982, which itself is a combination of multiple predecessor institutions shown in the list below:
- Brisbane Kindergarten Training College (1911)
- Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers College (1965)
- Queensland Teachers' Training College (1914)
- Kelvin Grove Teachers College (1961)
- Kelvin Grove College of Advanced Education (1976)
- Kedron Park Teachers College (1961)
- North Brisbane College of Advanced Education (1974)
In 1988, the Queensland University of Technology Act was passed for the grant of university status to Queensland Institute of Technology (QIT). As a result, QIT was granted university status and was operational as Queensland University of Technology (QUT) beginning in January 1989. The Brisbane College of Advanced Education joined with QUT in 1990.
The Gardens Point campus was once entirely housed in the 19th-century former Government House of Queensland. In 1909, during the relocation of the governor's residence, the Old Government House and the surrounding five hectares were set aside for both a university and a technical college. The first university on the site was the University of Queensland which was moved to St Lucia in 1945, where it remains today.{{Citation needed|date=June 2021}}

Controversies
QUT has come under renewed criticism around its workplace culture, allegations of bullying and misrepresentation of job losses in 2020–21.{{cite news |title='Increasingly toxic culture': Bullying accusations at major Qld university |url=https://www.couriermail.com.au/education-queensland/increasingly-toxic-culture-bullying-accusations-at-major-qld-university/news-story/d3a677ea195add95cd5a92223314171c |access-date=2022-11-11 |publisher=The Courier Mail |date=2021-04-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220309134413/https://www.couriermail.com.au/education-queensland/increasingly-toxic-culture-bullying-accusations-at-major-qld-university/news-story/d3a677ea195add95cd5a92223314171c |archive-date=2022-03-09 |url-status=live |url-access=subscription}} Many academic and professional staff have expressed living in fear of this workplace, in the most significant publicity the university has received in several years. Initial steps towards change in response to these claims have been made, although this has been met with scepticism by staff, citing issues with the concept of "leadership training" for executive managers, and the lack of urgency in implementing a safe method of complaint.{{cite news |title='Toxic' uni bosses act after 'distressing' claims |url=https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/qut-senior-executives-headed-for-leadership-training/news-story/bc7d0f073098530af2816bb8c1da24f6 |access-date=2022-11-11 |publisher=The Courier Mail |url-access=subscription}}
The current vice-chancellor Margaret Sheil has been criticised for excessively lavish renovations for a private bathroom with "marble finishes" in her personal office.
