QIT had its origins in the Central Technical College, established in 1914 on what is now the University's Gardens Point campus. On its formation in 1965, QIT absorbed the professional courses offered by the Central Technical College and in its first year enrolled some 2000 part-time students. In May 1990, QUT amalgamated with the Brisbane College of Advanced Education, a large multi-campus institution specialising in the arts, business, education and the social sciences. BCAE was formed by an amalgamation that took place in January 1982, its precursors being the Kelvin Grove, Mount Gravatt and North Brisbane Colleges of Advanced Education and the Brisbane Kindergarten Teachers' College. These institutions were established, under other designations, in l9I4, 1969, 1961 and I907 respectively. The Mount Gravatt campus of BCAE was transferred to Griffith University in January 1990 prior to BCAE commencing amalgamation negotiations with QUT. The institution resulting from the amalgamation ofBCAE with QUThas retained the title Queensland University of Technology. It is a major university in the Australian context with a broad academic profile and an increasing involvement in research and postgraduate education. The fields of study in which the University is active include architecture and the built environment, the arts, business, education, engineering, health sciences, information technology, law, mathematics, science, the social sciences and surveying. QUT has an enrolment exceeding 20,000 students and expectations of sustained growth. It has campuses at Carseldine, Kedron Park, Kelvin Grove and Gardens Point, all in metropolitan Brisbane, and is in the process of developing a new campus on the Sunshine Coast, north of Brisbane. In the fmal months of 1990 the University was involved in a process of introspection and review as it completed the reorganisation and regrouping made necessary by the amalgamation. From the beginning of 1991, new academic and administrative structures will be operative and the University will be well prepared organisationally to proceed with the rapid development expected to characterise its immediate future. Council The Council is the University's governing body, with responsibility for advertising the University in accordance with the Queensland University of Technology Act, 1988-1990. The Council consists of twenty-two members, of whom eight are nominees of the Minister for Education, one is a nominee of the Director-General of Education, two are nominees of the Council, two are elected
