The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s leading research and teaching institutions. We strive for excellence through the creation, preservation, transfer and application of knowledge. For more than a century, we have educated and worked with outstanding people to deliver knowledge leadership for a better world.
UQ ranks in the top 50 as measured by the Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities. The University also ranks 51 in the QS World University Rankings, 52 in the US News Best Global Universities Rankings, 60 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings and 55 in the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The University’s global research positioning was highlighted by the election of five UQ scientists to the Australian Academy of Science (AAS) in 2015 – almost one quarter of the 21 new Fellows and the most from any institution in the country.
The five new Fellows joined an existing group of 29 UQ scientists admitted to the AAS as Fellows since 1988, bringing the total number of UQ academics who are members of one of Australia’s six prestigious learned academies to 166. UQ is one of only three Australian members of the global Universitas 21, a founding member of the Group of Eight (Go8) universities, and a member of Universities Australia.
Skilled and motivated teachers are integral to providing positive teaching and learning outcomes for students. UQ has a strong focus on teaching excellence, having won more Australian Awards for University Teaching than any other in the country and attracting the majority of Queensland's highest academic achievers, as well as top interstate and overseas students. The educators of UQ are committed to excellence in learning experiences and outcomes for their students.
UQ is one of only two Australian charter member universities included in the not-for-profit edX enterprise, and UQx represents this organisation on behalf of the University. UQx works with the University’s academic teaching staff to create and present a range of MOOCs through the edX platform and to further the goals of the UQ Student Strategy with respect to on-campus teaching.
The Student Employability Centre provides students with opportunities, choices and support that will enable them to achieve their individual aspirations, to become leaders in their chosen fields and to positively impact on the society in which they live. In addition to flexibility in program choice, student benefits include the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of extracurricular activities during their studies. Students can study abroad, participate in conferences and research opportunities, access more than 200 clubs and societies, and utilise sporting and cultural facilities.
The UQ Graduate School offers significant support to higher degree by research (HDR) students through a broad range of scholarships and research travel awards, dedicated office spaces, skills training, and professional development opportunities. The University introduced the Career Development Framework– another first nationally – designed to accelerate HDR students’ career development and enhance their employability. Evidence indicates that the University’s research excels in both quality and impact.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I applied for an MBA at this University. The process here is so slow that you lose most of the interest before you see the first response. The assessors have no common sense and will stick to the policies even if the answer is very obvious. I got 3 other offers from reputed universities even before UQ acknowledged my application.
I dont know how the studying environment is, however i am sure the application process is really frustrating.
you can still apply if you want to waste your time and efforts as i did or be smart and find a better university.

Students are not valued here. Bureaucracy is over the roof and nobody cares about actual people. No support or understanding from the administration. The scenery can be nice but the place is rotten on the inside. After 4 years of PhD here, I never want to come back. Thank you very much UQ for your negligence.

Excellent university with top notch facilities and professors. One of the top universities in the world and ranked 1st in Queensland. Astonishing and beautiful campus. This 20th century university or stand stone university has lot to offer. Currently, I'm studying masters here and so far the experience is way beyond the expectations. Just loved the everything about the university. Living my dream at this University.

The best part about Queesnland is that a dual degree program at UQ allows the student to undertake two bachelor degrees at the same time which makes students specialize in 2 sectors and employment rates are very high over there.
