The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia's premierlearning and research institutions. The University is a founding memberof the national Group of Eight, an alliance of research-strong, mostly "Sandstone universities"committed to ensuring that Australia has higher education institutionswhich are genuinely world class. It belongs also to the globalUniversitas 21 alliance. This group aims to enhance the quality ofuniversity outcomes through international benchmarking and a jointventure e-learning project with The Thomson Corporation.

UQ is Queensland's foremost university. In 1998–99 it was namedAustralia's University of the Year and it continues to enjoy thehighest overall rating for Queensland universities in the annual GoodUniversities Guide.

UQ remains the most successful Australian university in winning andbeing shortlisted for Australian Awards for University Teaching sincethey were established in 1997. On a variety of measures it is one ofthe top three or four research universities in the country.

UQ's strength in research is evident in the many joint andcollaborative research centres associated with the university. TheQueensland Bioscience Precinct on the St Lucia campus houses scientists from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Institute for Molecular Biosciences to form one of the largest biomedical research clusters in Australia. In addition, UQ is involved in biomedical translational research at the Diamantina Institute for Cancer, Immunology and Metabolic Medicine (DI) and the University of Queensland Centre of Clinical Research (UQCCR).

Rankings

According to The Times Higher-QS World University Rankings 2008, UQis the only Queensland university in the top 100 (ranked 43rd alongwith the National University of Singapore), and one of only nine Australian universities in the top 200.UQ moved from being the sixth-ranked Australian university in the 2006world rankings to become the fourth-ranked Australian university in2007.
The Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Academic Ranking of WorldUniversities also placed UQ among the top five Australian universities.UQ was also listed at number 91 in a 2006 Newsweek ranking of theworld's top 100 universities, placing seventh among Australianuniversities after the Australian National University, University of Melbourne, University of Sydney, University of New South Wales, Monash University and University of Western Australia. These six higher ranking institutions together with UQ and the University of Adelaide also form the Group of Eight consortium, which consists of the top eight Australian research universities.
The University was independently ranked as one of Australia's bestuniversities in the 2007 edition of The Good Universities Guide;receiving a maximum five-star rating in six key performance indicators.These include student demand, positive graduate outcomes (reflectingboth graduate employment and going on to further study), staffqualifications, research grants, research intensivity and toughness toget in (specifically for the St Lucia campus).

Campus and Setting

St Lucia CampusUQ was established on 10 December 1909, with Sir William MacGregor as first chancellor (with Reginald Heber Roe as vice-chancellor) and was originally situated in Brisbane's downtown area. In 1927, the land on which the St Lucia campus is built was resumed by the Brisbane City Council using money donated by James O'Neil Mayne and his sister Mary Emelia Mayne to replace the less spacious city campus (now home to the Gardens Point campus of the Queensland University of Technology).
The University has its main campus in the suburb of St Lucia, in Brisbane. Its other campuses include Ipswich, Gatton, Herston, South Brisbane, Turbot Street and Moggill.
Situated on a peninsula of the Brisbane River, the university is reachable by road, CityCatferry, or bus and is seven kilometres from Brisbane's city centre. Atits centre is the heritage-listed Great Court — a large open areasurrounded by sandstone buildings with distinctive gargoyles.
The large campus of 274 acres (1.1 km2) also includes sportingfields, gardens, duckponds, and cycling tracks. The athletics centrefeatures 21 floodlit tennis courts and Olympic-standard swimming pool,a three-level gymnasium and a multi-purpose indoor centre.
The university is served by a CityCat wharf, two bus stations and is also served by the Eleanor Schonell Bridge providing pedestrian and bus access across the river to Dutton Park.


Gatton CampusLocated in Gatton, Queenslandabout 90km west of Brisbane on the Warrego Highway, UQ Gatton is hometo the university's Faculty of Natural Resources, Agriculture andVeterinary Science (NRAVS). UQ Gatton, formerly the QueenslandAgricultural College, was opened in 1897 as a combined agriculturalcollege and experimental farm. The QAC amalgamated with UQ in 1990. UQGatton is serviced by the UQ Gatton Student Association and remainsaffiliated with the UQ Student Union.
UQ Gatton offers courses in agriculture, animal science,environmental management, agronomy/agribusiness, equine studies,wildlife and bushland studies and other fields relating to natural andrural environments. Its facilities include over 1000 hectares ofagricultural land, extensive and intensive animal productionoperations, a recently redeveloped equine centre, and facilities forwildlife studies, as well as modern teaching facilities andlaboratories, and a branch of the UQ Library. Some of the original QACbuildings are still standing, such as the Foundation Building.

Ipswich CampusThe Ipswich campus, opened in 1999, after State and Federalgovernment backing is the newest campus, made up of nearly 20 buildingsand more than 4000 students on nearly 25ha. Courses offered include:arts, business and social sciences as well as Interaction design.
It is located near central Ipswich, Queensland, just south of the CBD. Nearby landmarks include Limestone Park, The Workshops Railway Museum and the RAAF Base Amberley. The actual site surrounds the Ipswich Showgrounds and is in turn, sided by a golf course.
The site dates back to 1878 with the opening of the Ipswich branchof the Woogaroo Lunatic Asylum. Operations continued until 1910 when itbecame the Ipswich Hospital for the Insane. In 1938 it was renamed theIpswich Mental Hospital and in 1964 it was renamed again as the IpswichSpecial Hospital. It was finally named the Challinor Centre in 1968 inhonour of Dr. Henry Challinor, the ships surgeon on the Fortitude. From1968 to 1997 the Challinor Centre served as an institution for peoplewith intellectual disabilities. In late 1997 the Challinor Centre began its final stage of evolution as the new UQ Ipswich campus.
This history is reflected today with 17 heritage listed buildingsthat have been refurbished into work spaces, computer laboratories andpublic spaces. Work is still underway refurbishing more buildings.

Other Facilities

The University of Queensland takes advantage of research andeducation facilities not attached directly to the three campuses. Theselocations are primarily for research which cannot be undertaken in thecampus locales but also represent buildings which establishedpre-eminence in education before the creation of the current campuses.

Research Centres

Notable research centres include:

Student Union

It provides services to students including representationto University and faculty committees, refectories and other cateringservices, a legal service, financial assistance, administrativecounseling and campus activities.
