Students do not have to wait until they are studying at UQ to visit one of our first-class campuses. A guided on-campus tour is a fantastic opportunity to get a closer look at university life, ask questions, talk to current students and see the facilities first-hand. The Student Recruitment Team organises campus tours of UQ's three campuses for individuals, families and larger groups throughout the year. Tours generally take about an hour and information packs are provided for all visitors. We recommend participants wear comfortable walking shoes and to bring a hat and water bottle.
Scheduled campus tours will be offered at the St Lucia campus daily during 2009 Queensland and northern New South Wales school holiday periods. Tours of the Ipswich and Gatton campuses are also available at this time upon request.
