Bookshops
Many University schools issue lists of essential books and equipment. With care, students can minimise costs. For example, books suggested for reference only can be found in the University libraries.
Textbooks and other equipment such as laboratory coats can often be bought secondhand through the Secondhand Bookshop at UQ St Lucia or the UQ Gatton bookshop.
The bookshops at UQ St Lucia, UQ Gatton and UQ Ipswich stock new textbooks, stationery and other materials.
The Herston Medical Bookshop is a specialist bookshop owned by the UQ Union catering for health professionals and students in all medical disciplines. The UQ St Lucia campus has over 20 shops, cafes and entertainment for students and staff. If you can't find what you need on campus, more shops, cafes and a supermarket are within a five minute walk from the campus.
