[edit] Misc
Changing some of this content as it is incorrect. QUT does offer a Bachelor of Science degree. Also the current article makes it sound like there are only two universities in Queensland, when in reality there are (from memory) about 10 or so. Russco 01:51, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Having just searched their web site, I can't find any mention of a Bachelor of Science offered. Maybe you're thinking of the Bachelor of Applied Science? Anyway I agree your modifications to the article are an improvement, so I guess it doesn't matter ... — Danc 13:43, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Other universities in Queensland include: University of Queensland (UQ), Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Griffith University, Central Queensland University (CQU), University of Southern Queensland (USQ), James Cook University, Bond University, and Australian Catholic University (ACU). --Andrew 09:51, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
Maybe somebody should reword the article. It should provide important information on the university, not advertise it. If it is a very good university, then this should be indicated through facts and statistics, not emotive language without verification.
- I agree. This article needs to read less like it was copied verbatim from the university's marketing material. - Dalziel 86 15:52, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
I pruned a few of the overtly sensationalist phrases. Sometimes I cringe at institutional egos. Of course, QUT fans aren't the only culprits. Unfortunately it seems to occur on an official basis too. I'm a QUT student and I wonder who's in charge of the university's petty advertising campaign. They've arranged for advertisements to be displayed on the side of council buses - "wave, your future boss may be on board", etc. Then there's the expensive television adverts about alumni in the United States. The "student" paper seems to be little more than a self-promotional ego boosting enterprise. It sends the wrong message about institutional priorities - that the organisation is more interested in fostering an elitist atmosphere than an educational experience. We're not awash in cash so why blow limited resources on advertising? - Nathan
Was it necessary to remove any mention of the rivalry between QUT and UQ? It does exist, and can be verified, as Wikipedia demands. -Dalziel 86 15:44, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
This article seems to have a few too many pictures for the amount of content it has once the marketing language and copyright violations from QUT's own website and promotional material have been removed. It gives the article a bit of a cramped feel, and does weird things to the placement of the section editing links besides. Unless we can get some more content for the article to balance out the images, I'm going to remove them after a little while. --Dalziel 86 23:59, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Kelvin Grove Campus (QUT)
I'm proposing that the Kelvin Grove page be merged back into the main article. However I wont stand in the way of any alternatives brought up. What I'll ask, is it really necessary to have a separate article on each of the QUT campuses? It would be better off merging this back either into this article, or either create a Campuses of QUT page or something similar, with a detailed mention of each QUT campus. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 06:37, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think a Campuses page would be appropriate, as opposed to one page for each of the four campuses. Ansell 08:54, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] QUT (Applied Science)
This is the course I've been doing for the past 3 years. You can MAJOR IN STACKS OF DIFFERENT AREAS like microbiology, industrial chemistry etc. It is different from UQ in that it is not as insular and actually it is easier to go straight into the workforce after completing a 3 year course in QUT than in UQ, but that might just be me. Cousre code for applied science is SC01 co-ordinator m.hargreaves
[edit] Kelvin grove merger
I agree, also put in a subheading for Carseldine and Gardens Point.
Caboolture - I've changed it like a bajillion times but someone keeps changing it back so I give up, but Caboolture does not offer a full course in Education. I know this because I am currently enrolled at Caboolture.
[edit] Carseldine Closing?
should there be any word on the future of the carseldine campus —Preceding unsigned comment added by Supercameron (talk • contribs) 11:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
