The University of Southern Queensland (branded as UniSQ and formerly branded as USQ) is a medium-sized, regional university based in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, with four university campuses at Toowoomba, Springfield, and Ipswich. It offers courses in law, health, engineering, surveying and built environment, the sciences, business, education, and the arts. It operates three research institutes and nine research centres which focus on a wide range of business, agricultural, scientific, environmental, and technological issues. [8]

The university was established in 1967 in Toowoomba as the Queensland Institute of Technology (Darling Downs) and achieved full university status as the University of Southern Queensland in 1992.

In 2012, the university's archaeologists discovered the oldest Australian rock art of 28,000 years old in the Northern Territory,[9] and in 2018, the university's astronomers discovered a new planet that orbits an ancient star almost 2 billion years older than the sun.[10] [11] It has been recognised for its efforts in preventing violence against women[12] and was cited as employer of choice for gender equality by the Federal Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA).[13]

In June 2022, USQ announced it was changing its branding from USQ to UniSQ, accompanied by a change in logo.[14]

USQ consistently ranks among the top 400 universities worldwide. In the 2025 US News Best Global Universities rankings, it is positioned at 304th.[15] In the 2025 QS World University Rankings, USQ holds the 396th spot.[16] In the 2023 Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, it is placed within the 301-350 range.[17]

History

1960 to 1966: Darling Downs University Establishment Association (DDUEA)

After a meeting of over 200 members of the Toowoomba community on 2 December 1960, the Darling Downs University Establishment Association (DDUEA) was founded with the purpose of establishing a university in the Darling Downs region. Chaired by former mayor of Toowoomba Dr. Alex McGregor, the association successfully lobbied the local, state, and federal government for the establishment of an Institute of Technology located in Toowoomba. After the establishment of the Queensland Institute of Technology (Darling Downs), the association became known as the Darling Downs Association for Advanced Education (DDAAE), and later Darling Downs Unilink Limited.[18] Darling Downs Unilink Limited went into receivership in 1996, with a subsequent auction of the organisation's art collection.[19]

1967 to 1971: Queensland Institute of Technology (Darling Downs) (QITDD)

The Queensland Institute of Technology (Darling Downs) (QITDD) opened on 2 February 1967 in Toowoomba, beginning with 140 foundation students. By 1970, the institution provided studying programs for rural Queensland and international communities.

1971 to 1989: Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education (DDIAE)

In 1971, the institute became the Darling Downs Institute of Advanced Education (DDIAE). Managed by its own College Council, DDIAE educated 75% of the country's international students in the 1986–1987 school year.

On the evening of 11 April 1979, a fire destroyed the Administration Building (B Block). This resulted in the loss of the mailroom and switchboard. The cause of the fire was a staff member activating a bank of light switches which, unbeknownst to them, were also connected to a wall strip heater obscured by computer printout paper. While the damage was significant, student academic records were not affected and the institute was able to continue operating. [20]

From 1980 to 1990, DDIAE grew significantly from 1,000 to 8,000 full-time student equivalents (EFTSL).

1990 to 1991: University College of Southern Queensland (UCSQ)

It became the University College of Southern Queensland (UCSQ) in 1990, under the sponsorship of the University of Queensland.

1992 to present: University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ, formerly USQ)

In 1992, the institution became the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) when it gained full university status. UniSQ was a founding member of the Regional Universities Network that was launched in 2011.[21] The Network's research in 2013 showed that UniSQ generated $411.7 million into the economy of Queensland every year as well as household income of $255.4 million and 3,313 jobs in the communities of Toowoomba, Fraser Coast, and Springfield.[22] Along with Toowoomba's investments in data centres, landscaped and business parks, air and land infrastructures, UniSQ has been contributing to making the region a centre of agribusiness, sustainable development, and trade.[23]

Milestones

Campuses

UniSQ ensures that, as a regional university, its curriculum serves local and regional employment needs, as well as engaging in regional social and economic development and serving the regional community.

In stage two of the Sustainable Energy Solution project commenced in September 2017, 1198 solar panels were installed on building rooftops across UniSQ campuses in Springfield and Ipswich, generating 586,949 kilowatt hours and reducing thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions each year. As of 31 May 2018, smoking is banned in all areas at UniSQ.[26]
