Vice-Chancellor's welcome
The University is one of Australia’s most rapidly growing. It is also developing a range of innovative academic programs. In addition, it occupies a beautiful location and has won many awards for its campus development. It is a campus that is home to wild kangaroos.
Recently, in a major study by the OECD, the University and its region was chosen as a subject of study, along with 13 other regions worldwide. The study focuses on innovatively engaged universities. The work we do here is, therefore gaining international recognition.
Students consistently rate highly their experiences, and the ‘human scale’ of the University with strong support from highly qualified staff are consistently presented as the reasons.
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.
