The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s leading teaching and research universities. For more than a century, UQ has educated and worked with outstanding people to deliver knowledge leadership for a better world.
UQ ranks among the world’s top universities and, with a strong focus on teaching excellence, has won more national teaching awards than any other Australian university.
UQ’s 332,000 graduates are an engaged network of global alumni spanning 184 countries, and include more than 17,700 PhDs. More than 55,000 current students, including around 20,000 postgraduate students and approximately 21,500 international students from 141 countries, currently study across UQ’s 4 campuses in South East Queensland.
UQ’s 6 faculties, 8 globally recognised research institutes and more than 100 research centres attract an interdisciplinary community of 2,500 scientists, social scientists and engineers who champion research excellence and continue UQ’s tradition of research leadership. This is reflected in UQ being the number one recipient of Australian Research Council Fellowships and Awards nationally across all scheme years (452 awards worth $339 million).
UQ is also one of only 4 Australian members of the global Universitas 21, a founding member of the Group of Eight (Go8) universities, a member of Universities Australia, and a member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU).
About The Campus
UQ is famous for its beautiful campuses, and these are home to the kind of cutting-edge resources and facilities that draw the best and brightest from around the world. We continually evolve and transform our spaces, so we’re always at the forefront of technology and best practice.
Situated on 114 hectares of Brisbane River-bound land and only seven kilometres from Brisbane’s city centre, UQ’s main St Lucia campus is a vibrant mix of majestic sandstone buildings and contemporary architecture, landscaped gardens and lakes.
We have everything you would expect from a prestigious university – libraries, study nooks, industry-relevant equipment, makerspaces, studios and labs. But we also have all the facilities of a world-class city – museums, parklands, lakes, community gardens, cafes, greenhouses, solar farms, retail and medical facilities, farms and harvest facilities, vet hospitals, gyms, sports facilities, and the famous Jacaranda trees. UQ is more than a place to study. It’s a thriving community bursting at the seams with ambition and possibility.
