UQ School of Law

Boasting a long and proud heritage, the University of Queensland (UQ) TC Beirne School of Law has built on its prestigious history to forge a modern, future-proof legal institution. Today, we are ranked #48 globally in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

The School brings together leading national and international scholars, distinguished alumni and leaders of the legal profession to provide students with an outstanding legal education to equip them for a wide variety of careers, both within Australia and internationally.

We are a global centre of research excellence, undertaking and disseminating research across a wide range of legal fields. Our scholars make a significant and lasting contribution to the understanding and development of law nationally and internationally, the effectiveness of law as a discipline, and an understanding of its relationship with other fields.

Our students are offered a vast array of co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, both within the School itself and within the broader UQ community. Opportunities include study abroad, mooting, pro bono work and undertaking legal research under the supervision of leading scholars.

The School is embarking on a period of transformation to ensure that our degree programs remain at the forefront of Australian legal education. We have undergone a dramatic refurbishment to bring the School, housed in the iconic Forgan Smith building, into line with the world’s best contemporary education facilities. The aim was to improve the student experience by creating a place of light, learning and collaboration, incorporating the latest technology and facilities.
