About University of Queensland
UQ was established by an act of the Queensland Parliament in 1909 as the state's first university, and it began teaching in 1911 in Brisbane's Old Government House. From the late 1930s it moved to its main St Lucia campus, centred on the sandstone Great Court. It also has campuses at Gatton and Herston, and its researchers helped develop the technology behind the HPV (cervical cancer) vaccine.
