With over 20% of its students undertaking a range of postgraduate studies, The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia's largest postgraduate training centres and offers students a superior study and research environment.  In November 1997, Senate established The UQ Graduate School to cater specifically for the needs of the growing community of postgraduate students - in particular, research higher degree candidates.

Professor Zlatko Skrbis is the Dean of the UQ Graduate School. The UQ Graduate School (UQGS) and its staff are located in the Cumbrae-Stewart Building, St Lucia Campus. The UQ Graduate School has academic responsibility for the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) programs, provides research scholarships to candidates in those programs, and maintains various initiatives to enhance the postgraduate experience at UQ. The UQ Graduate School focuses on

• enriching the "the quality of academic life" for postgraduate students,
• producing excellent educational and employment outcomes,
• maintaining and building on UQ's high standards of supervision,  and
• offering excellent practical research training to prepare postgraduate students for careers not only in traditional domains such as scientific organisations and universities.

We are proud of our postgraduates, particularly those in research higher degree programs whose work makes a crucial contribution to The University's research profile.
