CQ University Australia


In 2015, CQUniversity Australia was awarded five stars for Inclusiveness, Online / Distance learning and Internationalisation, and four stars for Teaching and Facilities by the global university ratings system, QS StarsTM. These ratings solidify our reputation as Australia’s most accessible and inclusive university, ensuring that a quality education is accessible to everyone.

They also reflect our commitment to continual investment in top academic talent and technology and infrastructure to provide the best learning experience for students.

In 2014, CQUniversity merged with Central Queensland TAFE to become one of the few dual sector universities in Australia, strengthening its capacity to provide a more comprehensive educational experience and providing students with more choices and opportunities.
