A class of its own: A history of Queensland University of Technology

The history of the Queensland University of Technology is a large part the history of higher education in Queensland. QUT was established in 1989, but it incorporated a series of 13 predecessor institutions stretching back to 1849 and is the only university in Queensland which can claim such a rich and extensive past. A class of its Own explores the histories of these various institutions (including Technical Colleges, Kindergarten Training Colleges, Teachers Colleges and Colleges of Advanced Education) and examines their distinctive aspects.
