Some departments have public folder calendars, which you can add to Outlook.

These calendars are stored in public folders and sometimes need to be re-added if you update your copy of Outlook or change computers.

To add a public folder calendar to Outlook, follow the instructions for your operating system, or for the Outlook Web App in the my.UQ dashboard.

These instructions are for Outlook 365.
