style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">The ranking measures Australian universities across four pillars - teaching, research, equity and career impact. </span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry AC said the result reaffirmed UQ as one of Australia’s most comprehensive universities, with tangible impact across education, research and communities.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif">“We are proud to have Australia’s most awarded university teachers deliver our high-quality programs
