The University of Canberra is one of Australia’s leading Universities, with a strong reputation for excellence in education and research. The University’s outstanding record of graduate employment success stems from its emphasis on professional and vocational outcomes.
The University attracts students from over 80 countries, the main source of international students being the Asia-Pacific region, but students also come to the University from Africa, North and South America, the Middle East and Europe.
The University is set in natural bush land in Bruce, a suburb of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in Australia. UC is seven kilometres from the centre of the nation's capital, Canberra, which is located on the Southern Tablelands, three hours south of Sydney and two hours from the Eastern Coast.
The University of Canberra is committed to providing high quality education. It is home to three Academic Divisions: Business, Law & Information Sciences, Communication & Education and Health, Design & Science. These offer an exciting and diverse range of professional and vocationally oriented courses at both undergraduate and post-graduate level. Additionally, UC offers a number of special or non-award courses.
The campus is a pleasant place to study, live and work. The grounds are attractively landscaped with native Australian plants and all of the buildings are within a five minute walking distance of each other. The natural setting is offset by outstanding facilities, including a crèche, pre-school, free parking, banks, cafés, newsagent, post office and chemist. The University of Canberra Union provides catering, sporting and other recreational facilities.
