Engagement

The UQ Engagement Plan within the UQ Strategic Plan 2012-2016 states the following aspirations and strategies:

  • Inclusion - We will strive to ensure our students, staff and the external communities with which we engage, are diverse and represent people from a range of cultural, social and economic backgrounds who bring expertise and strength to our teaching, learning and research activities.
  • Through intentional engagement, build a substantial scholarship endowment for able students who are from financially or socially disadvantaged groups.

Priority One in The University of Queensland Equity and Diversity Plan , 2010-2014 is to promote tertiary education aspirations of people from low socio-economic backgrounds in schools, communities and the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. Priority Two is to provide and widely promote multiple pathways to facilitate the entry of prospective students from equity and diversity groups.
