The University of Queensland values its student and staff diversity and seeks to promote an environment where people may learn from a variety of cultures and viewpoints in a supportive and respectful atmosphere.

For more information about, and links to, specific UQ policies, go back to the general policies page on this website.

It is important that the University reflects the diversity of the wider community. To this end, we have programs, initiatives and support services that seek to increase the participation of groups of students who have typically been under-represented in higher education.

Equity programs
The University has a long history of equity activities and support in a variety of areas including:

• support programs for people with disabilities
  
• special entry and support facilities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island students
  
• special entry and support activities for students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds

Scholarships
The University also has information on a range of scholarships available for University students.
