Consistently ranking in the top 2 percent of universities globally, their degrees are designed with industry in mind, the future in their sight, and social impact at heart.
With more than 55,000 students, their community spans five campuses across South East Queensland plus their Digital campus, complemented by a global alumni network of over 200,000 graduates.
They know the world can, and should, be a better place—for everyone. And in helping thousands of different people create a brighter future for themselves, they’re doing their part to create a brighter future for all.

The GUIPRS may be held for up to two years for a research master’s program and up to three years for a doctoral program. A six-month extension may be granted to doctoral candidates in certain circumstances.
