University of Southern Queensland

UniSQ runs three Queensland campuses. Toowoomba, the founding site on Jarowair Country, is the largest and houses engineering, surveying, agriculture and the Centre for Astrophysics. Springfield, in Greater Ipswich, houses business, IT, nursing and education for the growing Brisbane-Ipswich corridor. Ipswich, in central Ipswich, houses nursing, allied health and education. UniSQ has one of the longest histories of distance and online education in Australia, and around 75 percent of its enrolments are online through UniSQ Online. Accommodation runs through Toowoomba on- campus residential colleges, including McGregor and Steele Rudd Colleges, with a strong residential cohort given the regional setting. The UniSQ Student Guild runs around 30 clubs across the campuses. The Centre for Astrophysics, with the Mount Kent Observatory, is one of Australia's leading exoplanet research programmes. The brand is regional access, flexible online study and applied research in agriculture, engineering, astrophysics and rural health.
