Welcome to QUT Sport
Sport is an important cultural thread of university life so whether you are a competitive athlete, someone who likes to keep active, interested in how sport and technology merge in today’s digital world or someone in between - we have something for everyone.
Sport + Tech. A match for the future
QUT is committed to raising the bar when it comes to integrating technology in sport. We are actively seeking new ways to leverage technologies to improve the health and wellbeing.
From our state-of-the-art virtual cycle studio to our virtual motor racing simulator, QUT Sport provides a range of ways for our students, staff, and wider community to immerse themselves in the world of sport technology with QUT.
Sport Tech Van
QUT Sport is taking sports technology and exciting activations on the road to visit communities across the state as part of the Widening Participation Program. Out on the road, the truck will visit communities and provide opportunities to participate in rising sports infused with technology.

Esports
Our esports program is ingrained with community, competition, education, and wellbeing, with online safety and governance at its core. Not only do we have a fully equipped esports arena with broadcasting and live commentary functionality, but our academy program is a great opportunity for students to connect and compete in our intervarsity tournaments.
QUT Sport Fitness and Aquatic Centres
QUT has fitness and aquatic centres at both our Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove campuses. The fitness centres are open to students, staff, and the wider Brisbane community with swimming pools, fitness equipment, personal trainers and group fitness classes.
Elite sport
We take great pride in championing our student-athletes who strive for excellence at the highest levels of competition. Our primary commitment is to get athletes to the top of their game in both their academic pursuits and sporting achievements. To achieve this goal, QUT offers services such as the Elite Athlete Program, scholarship opportunities, and a suite of complementary amenities.
Our Elite Athlete Program provides eligible students access to academic flexibility, support services, personal and professional development, scholarships, and funding opportunities.
Partnering with the AIS has cemented the student-athlete experience and enabled career-best outcomes in both academic and sporting arenas for our students. The QUT-AIS Scholarships provide students with financial support, membership to the Elite Athlete Program and access to the College of Excellence.
Representative sport
With a rich history in intervarsity events, we offer a range of opportunities for students to wear the QUT colours and represent our community. We compete in various events, including Indigenous Nationals, the Sports Bowl and UniSport Nationals.
Whether you’re in a swim cap at nationals, on the athletics track, scoring goals on the field, or pushing your own limits competing in triathlon, we are proud of our competitive ambition and aim to stand out in the national university landscape.
