Vice-Chancellor and President's welcome
The University is one of Australia’s most rapidly growing and in 2010 will have nearly 8000 students, 15 percent of whom will be from a range of countries around the world.
In a University still of human scale, the national recognition of the quality of teaching and support for students is among the finest in the country.
Research specialisations in ‘engagement’ and ‘sustainability’ are gaining international recognition. For example, ‘Time’ magazine rated blue-fin tuna research involving USC, as the second most important area of innovation in the world in 2009.
Students consistently rate their experiences at USC highly.
The Sunshine Coast region itself is not only a beautiful one, but is also an overwhelmingly safe environment, at a distance from the pressures of major cities. It is a rapidly growing ‘lifestyle’ region.
Please learn more about USC on this website, and join us in developing further a University that is already emerging as a major one across the 21st Century.
