Queensland universities

Queensland has nine of Australia's 37 universities, including some of the largest universities, the newest university, metropolitan universities and strongly regional ones.
All are engaged in both teaching and research and offer undergraduate and postgraduate studies to doctoral level, in a wide variety of fields of study.
All universities offer:
  • innovative courses
  • flexible teaching and learning environments
  • close liaison with professional groups, businesses and industry
  • national and international research and peer-gropu linkages
  • partnerships with communities locally, nationally and internationally.
Queensland universities are all research institutions. Their research achievements span a wide range of fields relevant to Queensland's geography, natural environment and resources, and economic and social development - such as:
  • mining
  • primary industries
  • rainforest, reef and coastal ecology and management
  • tropical agriculture
  • tourism
  • biotechnology
Our universities currently participate in 28 Cooperative Research Centres, which bring together researchers from public agencies and private industry to achieve outcomes of national economic and social significance, and are the lead partner in 12 centres.
