The history of UQ Gatton dates back to 1897, when the Queensland Agricultural College (QAC) opened as a combined agricultural college and experimental farm. This concluded a 20-year debate by farmers and politicians on ways to boost agricultural production in Queensland.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I was at UQ for 2 years doing Arts. This year i changed to QUT to do Creative Industries as i felt this was a better course for me with more direction, and career prospects that i am aiming for. The best thing about UQ was my philospohy lecturer, Michelle Boulous Walker. She was such a passionate person, and always listened to students and never made anyone feel inferior.

Its is big and therefore has heaps of facilities, lots of great people from a diverse range of cultures/backgrounds, heaps of support for students and staff and a great network of shops, services, etc - and yet despite its size it facilitates close relationships and friendship networks.

The applied linguistics course is great as the class sizes are quite small compared to other classes, everyone is so friendly and willing to help out. As for the actual subjects they're really good and interesting.

I work here currently, so I may be a little bit biased. I also finished my degree here and not only is this university one of Australia's best, it's also one of the only ones who have the program Masters of Health Economics (bar Monash). There's my interesting fact of the day. This university boasts some fantastic faculties, the Arts, Engineering Architecture and IT, Social and Behavioural Sciences, Science, Medicine, Business Economics Commerce and Law... to name a few. It's a fantastic institution, with great staff and student benefits. Key date to be there 1 week prior to classes starting in the beginning of the year, MARKET DAY!!!

Strengths - top researchers in their fields often as lecturers, lab work associated with most courses. Class sizes were always quite large, although the numbers dropped off after first year when there were more electives to choose from. The smallest class size in third year was about 60, the largest around 200. Timetable flexibility was good in first year, obviously due to huge number of people doing science, and the more limited number of electives. Through second and third year, the electives increased, people taking any one of the electives decreased and timetable choices and flexibility also decreased and it was a matter of fitting yourself around the timetable.

The Aerospace research conducted at UQ is ground breaking and is introduced into lectures to maintain a high level of interest. There are no electives in my course. All the the notes produced by lecturers are of a high quality and are enough to learn from. The timetable for engineering is very full on - usually 8am - 3pm Mon - Fri with some odd breaks throughout the day.

The facilities are amazing! There are alot of students at this uni, around 35000, and UQ provides more than ample amount of study space, computer rooms, lecture theatres etc. to cater for the needs of teachers and students.

The course has a strong base in community and the people compared to the economic and political sides which are offered at many other unis. For instance, I completed a year of International Studies at Sydney Uni and while the very traditional economic background this gave me has been useful, it is the community development side of the course at UQ that I love. Some of the subjects however can double up on subject matter. The course allows for a range of electives depending largely on the major chosen within the course. My major, in development, also allows room to study electives in related fields eg. environmental management, community health etc.

The facilities are excellent, each faculty have most of thier own facilities and own support network in regard to academic help. There are also several libraries, refectories, cafes, bookshops, banks, travel agents, a uni pub, pizzaria, lollyshop, chemist, hairdresser, theatre, pretty much anything you can think of put into a uni.
