UQ holds firm among top 50 in QS global rankings

The University of Queensland has held its 43^rd position among the world’s top universities, and fourth in Australia, in the 2014/15 QS World University Rankings, released today.

UQ Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Peter Høj congratulated the broad UQ community on securing a QS ranking of 43 for two years running.

“UQ’s high global rankings bolster our capacity to contribute to Australia’s $15 billion education exports and to attract international partners and funding,” Professor Høj said.

“However, no ranking status is assured when we have increasingly sophisticated competition from overseas contrasted with uncertainty over funding and regulations on the home front.”

QS now ranks all of Australia’s Group of Eight universities in the top 100 with the University of Adelaide moving up four places to 100^th position.
