About University of Queensland Union (UQU)
UQU has been the heart of student life since our founding, led by students, for students. What began as a collective of passionate individuals has grown into a dynamic organisation representing more than 60,000 students across UQ's campuses.
We're the spark behind campus's most unforgettable moments, festivals, advocacy campaigns, clubs and societies, and we're there when students need us most, through free meals and Student Advocacy & Support services that look after their wellbeing.
Every club we support, every voice we amplify, every event we bring to life, we do it to empower students to get the most from their university journey.
We're a team of organisers, campaigners, advocates, and community-builders working collaboratively to back students every step of the way, empowering them to lead our strategic direction based on what students care about. We take our work seriously, and thousands of students rely on us every day.
