The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s leading teaching and research institutions, internationally renowned for its highly awarded teaching staff, world-acclaimed researchers, and superior campus facilities and services.
UQ has a longstanding reputation for quality that is reinforced by affiliations with prestigious national and international groups, including the Australian Group of Eight (Go8) - a leading group of Australian universities - and Universitas 21, a select international network of comprehensive, research intensive universities committed to world-best quality and practice.
The University also consistently performs well in respected rankings of university academic and research performance. In 2006, the University ranked 45th in the world in a ranking compiled by the prestigious Times Higher Education Supplement. At a national level, UQ was awarded the maximum five-star rating in six major categories by the Australian Good Universities Guide 2007 (including student demand, positive graduate outcomes, staff qualifications and research intensivity).
UQ has more than 2,200 academic staff dedicated to teaching and research. Many are recognised internationally as leaders in their fields. Their ability and dedication is proven by the fact that UQ academics have won more Australian Awards for University Teaching than any other university.
UQ is also one of the leading research universities in Australia and leads industry collaboration and research funding. UQ researchers constantly push the boundaries of research to achieve world-acclaimed research breakthroughs - including the development of a vaccine for cervical cancer, pioneered by UQ researcher and 2006 Australian of the Year, Professor Ian Frazer.
