About the University of Queensland and Scholarship
The public research institution known as the University of Queensland (UQ, or Queensland University) is principally situated in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. One of the six sandstone universities—the oldest university in each state—UQ was established in 1909 by the Queensland parliament and is one of the six institutions that bear this name. A combination of the top three worldwide university rankings places the University of Queensland second in Australia and 42nd overall in 2023. UQ is also a founding member of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities, a group that focuses on international research, and edX, the top Group of Eight in Australia.
The main St. Lucia campus occupies a sizable chunk of the inner-city St. Lucia suburb beside a river, which is located southwest of Brisbane’s central business district. The main UQ campuses and facilities are the Gatton campus and the Mayne Medical School, which are located in Queensland. UQ has facilities around the world, including the UQ-Ochsner Clinical School in Louisiana, the United States, and the UQ North America headquarters in Washington, D.C.
83 new students attended the university’s initial classes in 1911, which were conducted in the Government House. Sir William MacGregor served as the university’s first chancellor, while RH Roe served as vice-chancellor. The first group of graduates at the University of Queensland received degrees in 1914.
