QAC Joins the University of Queensland (1990)

In 1990 QAC amalgamated with the University of Queensland, as part of the new, unified national system. This abolished the binary system of universities and CAEs, consolidating the smaller ones with others to give all institutions university status.

QAC's new role was reflected in its new name - the University of Queensland, Gatton College.

A decade later the name changed again to UQ Gatton following another significant milestone in its history - the University Senate's approval of key recommendations in a Report by Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Ted Brown.

The Brown Report launched a forward-looking plan to develop UQ Gatton as an international centre of excellence in teaching, research and extension, with a $13 million funds injection and proposals for new courses and centres and a lift in student numbers.
