Join scientists tackling climate change, long-term ecological strategy, energy and geosystems, food security and water resource management. We need the next generation of scientists to be driving us to a better and brighter future. Scientists who will make discoveries we can't even dream about today, and who will help solve future challenges.
Undergraduate
Kick start your career with an undergraduate science degree that integrates theory and practice. With a strong focus on experimental design, you'll be equally skilled at the desk, in the laboratory and in the field.
Postgraduate
A postgraduate science degree offers you the opportunity to further your knowledge in well-established and emerging areas in the field.
Research
Join a collaborative research community at QUT that drives innovation and solve complex, real-world challenges.
Your science career starts here
Think about the future. What issues do we need to address, as a society, to ensure longevity? Climate change. Water scarcity. Food shortages. Species extinction. Affordable housing.
A predicted 75% of future occupations need STEM literacy, so a skilled STEM workforce is central to addressing these complex issues now and into the future.

Why STEM skills are important
QUT's Joel Alroe measures atmospheric composition that will inform climate models and prediction of future climate change
Seeking future climate scientists
Climate change is the foremost critical challenge to the sustainability of Earth. There is rapidly growing demand for expertise in the area. Our new climate science minor delivers a strong understanding of climate science and combines it with Earth-ocean-atmosphere interaction, insight into global change, sustainability and air quality, and climate change mitigation measures.
Scholarships for science students
With a QUT scholarship you could receive money to help with your living costs and uni supplies, opportunities to work on great projects, practical work experience, or an introduction to industry professionals.

Ready STEM Go!
Tune in to hear from a great line-up of guest QUT alumni from around the world.
Hosted by current QUT STEM student, Mackenzi Oliver, the show welcomes our guests to share stories about the paths they’ve taken to get where they are in their STEM careers.
Women in STEM
With only one in four STEM workers being women, we recognise the importance of supporting and celebrating women pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.
We're tackling this gender divide through a number of programs and initiatives, including #STEMtheTide.
