The University of Queensland Business School is the business school of the University of Queensland, located in Brisbane, Australia. There are seven areas of research expertise across UQ Business School: Accounting, Business Information Systems, Finance, Management, Marketing, Strategy and Tourism.

Contents

The school began teaching its MBA program in 1972, the very first to be offered in Queensland. It became the first business school in Australia to meet the standards of the accrediting bodies - the US-based AACSB International and Europe’s EQUIS.

The Economist has ranked the UQ Business School 14th in its 2013 Global Business School Rankings and 1st in the Asia-Pacific. The 2013 Australian Financial Review BOSS MBA Rankings ranked the school first in Australia.

History

UQ Business School’s origins date back to 1926 when the University of Queensland first began to offer accounting degrees. The Department of Accountancy was set up in 1961, and later became the School of Commerce. Management education began in 1972, when the first MBA students enrolled.

The school was renamed the Department of Business Administration and later became School of Management in 1984.

UQ Business School was formed in 2002 with the merger of the Schools of Commerce and Management, and two years later it expanded further when it merged with the Technology and Innovation Management Centre (TIMC).

Campuses

UQ Business School operates over two sites. Most of the school’s staff are located at the St Lucia campus, a 114-acre site located seven miles from the centre of Brisbane within a bend in the Brisbane River.

UQ Business School Downtown (UQBS Downtown) is situated in Brisbane’s central business district and is home to the school’s Corporate Education and MBA programs. It opened in 2004. This learning and conference centre won the Queensland Architecture Award (Interiors) in 2005.
