LOCATION
The University of Queensland’s St Lucia, Herston, Ipswich and Gatton campuses are a great place to study.
UQ St Lucia – the University’s largest campus – comprises gracious sandstone buildings, parklands and lakes that surround world-class teaching and research facilities.
UQ Herston is UQ’s major clinical health teaching and research location, located alongside some of Brisbane’s major teaching and research hospitals.
UQ Ipswich offers students a unique learning environment by combining a dynamic new and smaller campus with the quality of a world-class institution.
UQ Gatton delivers excellence in agriculture and natural resource sciences.
All campuses are located in, or near, Brisbane – an enviable place to study and live. With a multicultural population of almost two million, Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, is large enough to offer all the advantages of a modern city but small enough to retain the country charm for which it is renowned.

Since 2006 over 900 UQ students have spent a semester abroad with one of our partner institutions.
