  2. Interaction Design programs were pioneered at UQ in modern, dedicated facilities at the Ipswich campus and are now available at St Lucia.
     
  3. Where is the best university teaching in Queensland?  Right here.  UQ has been independently rated among the top band of Australian universities for teaching quality and number 1 in Queensland.  The Interaction Design teachers are award winners.
