UQHERSTON
Herston is UQ’s core campus for clinical
health teaching and research.
Located alongside the Royal Brisbane
Children’s Hospital and the Royal Brisbane
and Women’s Hospital, the campus is
approximately three kilometres from the
Brisbane city centre.
Its proximity to a major hospital
benefits students and demonstrates UQ’s
commitment to working closely with health
professionals and staff alike to deliver
innovative and contemporary research and
education programs.
Many UQ researchers also work in
specialised nodes within the hospital
complex, including the Queensland Institute
of Medical Research and the new Oral
Health Centre.

and friendliness of a small town.

enjoy a relaxed lifestyle in a
subtropical climate, while living
in one of Australia’s major
business hubs with easy access
to the Asia Pacific region.
