  • equity.

This ranking is based on publicly available data sources (including the QS World University Rankings and the Academic Ranking of World Universities), and it collates this data to provide a more holistic picture of Australia’s university sector.

UQ's consistently strong performance across all areas is what pushed us into the top spot, as we ranked in the top 8 universities across Australia for each category.
