At UQ we constantly strive to deliver excellence in the areas of Learning, Discovery and Engagement so our students graduate with an education that is not only the most comprehensive and high-quality we can deliver, but is practical, relevant and globally minded.

You learn from teachers who have won more teaching awards than teachers at any other Australian university, and you choose from over 375 programs, at undergraduate, postgraduate and research higher degree levels, in diverse areas across six faculties.

You discover a university with eight world class research institutes and researchers whose innovations are having a global impact, including the creation of a cervical cancer vaccine, breakthroughs in dengue fever prevention and the installation of the largest photovoltaic solar panel in the southern hemisphere. As a UQ student you have the opportunity to be taught by and work alongside these researchers.

You engage with the national and international community through worldwide internship opportunities in diverse program areas, field trips to destinations ranging from tropical Heron Island in North Queensland to Hong Kong, and student exchange opportunities.
