UQ vs QUT - Which is better for Law?

I'm going into university next year I intend to study law in Brisbane at either UQ or QUT. For a while I've thought that UQ was miles ahead in regard to their standard of law school, though recently I've heard that QUT is pretty good - and worth considering. Both universities seem promising and ultimately I'll decide the uni based on which has better connections and lecturers.

If anyone has any insight regarding UQ and QUT law, whether it be personal experience or just an opinion... it would be much appreciated :))

Edit: Many of you guys have mentioned transportation - just like to note that I live less than 20 minutes away from both QUT and UQ, so fortunately, it's not an issue.

Dynamic local partnership to boost Australia’s tech sector

Improved graduate job opportunities, support for work integrated learning and a commitment to the Dean's Scholars Program have been secured for QUT as a longstanding industry partnership with Brisbane-based global tech company, TechnologyOne , enters a dynamic new phase.

The QUT-TechnologyOne partnership has been integral to the overall student experience at QUT for more than 15 years, most recently through the implementation of TechnologyOne’s Software-as-a-Service student management system for educational and operational excellence.

As part of QUT’s ongoing commitment to fostering collaborative partnerships with industry leaders, QUT and the international software provider have now begun an education partnership.

Student engagement and knowledge sharing are at the heart of the education partnership, with opportunities for students across the university as TechnologyOne reaffirms its commitment to driving advancement and shaping the future of the tech industry, through its alignment with QUT as an educational leader in STEM .

QUT Vice-President (Digital) and Chief Digital Officer Huw Davies said Australia’s standing as a major technology player would be boosted by the formalised alliance.

“Together we are two Brisbane success stories bringing our combined strengths to elevate Australia’s standing in the tech space,” Mr Davies said.

“QUT is at the forefront of innovation in technology and our job-ready graduates will lead from a position of strength through the real-world opportunities this collaboration provides.

“At the same time, TechnologyOne will see a return on investment as it supports pioneering research initiatives and showcases its vision and operations to future leaders in technology.”

The partnership will include the establishment of an exclusive TechnologyOne Graduate Program for QUT students.

This program will ensure QUT alumni make up one-third of the TechnologyOne graduate intake from 2025.

The leading ASX100 software company has also made an investment of $20,000 a year to the QUT Dean’s Scholars Program that is dedicated to empowering QUT’s most exceptional minds.

Under the program, which began in 2002, scholars collaborate with respected academics and industry partners to position themselves as catalytic agents of transformative progress in STEM.

And the education partnership will see the continuation of the TechnologyOne work integrated learning (WIL) placements and projects for QUT students of computer science, information systems, mathematical sciences, as well as law, accountancy, advertising, economics, finance and management.

TechnologyOne CEO Ed Chung said the partnership highlighted how important QUT graduates are to the growth of the tech sector in Australia.

“Over 37 years, we have sought to work with the best and this has helped enable our business to double in size every four or five years,” Mr Chung said.

“More than half of our 1300 staff are based in Brisbane and many of them are already QUT alumni.

“The formalisation of our partnership with QUT will see this relationship grow as we provide value above the mission critical software system that we manage for the university.

“We are committed to actively shaping future leaders in the tech sector.”
