Location
Brisbane, Australia
With beautiful sandstone buildings, parklands, and lakes, UQ is known as Australia’s most attractive campus, which is only 7 kilometers from central Brisbane. It is bound by the Brisbane River on three sides and provides the perfect study, research, and living environment.
Housing
All participants will be assigned rooms in the on-campus Residential Colleges if possible as coordinated by the WU Site Director. If the Colleges have insufficient space in any term, then the WU Site Director will arrange or facilitate housing in self-catered shared apartments, preferably on campus too.
Student Life
There are many things to do on campus, including an active social life within each Residential College. A cinema and theatre are located on the campus. There are over 150 clubs and societies to join, concerts, lectures, libraries, museums, art collections, and numerous sporting activities. The inner city has parks, botanical gardens, museums, art galleries, malls, shopping districts, restaurants, and cafes. The beaches of Australia’s Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are only an hour away.
On-Site Support
WU’s Site Director, Ann Wadsworth, plus UQ’s Study Abroad and Exchange Office and the assigned Residential College.
