Global reputation

UQ’s reputation for quality is reinforced by international rankings and affiliations.

In 2010, UQ ranked 43rd in the QS World University Rankings and was named top international academic institution outside the United States in The Scientist magazine’s Best Place to Work in Academia.

We are a founding member of the Group of Eight (Go8) – a leading group of Australian universities that collectively enrols one-third of all university students and conducts 70 percent of all university research in Australia. Go8 graduates boast a full-time employment rate almost five percent above that of other Australian universities.

UQ is one of only three Australian members of Universitas 21 – a select international network of comprehensive, research-intensive universities committed to world-best quality and practice.
