About the Institution
The University of Queensland was established by an
Act of State Parliament on December 10, 1909 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Queensland’s separation from the colony of New South Wales. Its foundation four months later made it the first university in the State and the fifth in the nation. In 1911, 83 students (including 23 women) attended the first classes in Government House, George Street, Brisbane. The First World War slowed development but afterwards, research and teaching burgeoned as demand for higher education increased. The fledgling University outgrew the buildings in George Street, and the search for a larger campus began. In 1990, the University merged with Queensland Agricultural College (now
UQ Gatton) as part of a unified national system abolishing the binary system of universities and colleges of advanced education. And in 1999,
UQ Ipswich opened as one of the first purpose-built, completely Web-enabled campuses in Australia. In 2010, the University marked its Centenary with a year of global celebrations involving graduates, staff, partners of the University, its friends and community members. The
UQ Centenary website provides a record of the celebrations.
