James Cook University
James Cook
University (JCU) combines excellence in teaching and research with a unique
tropical setting on the coast of northern Queensland. It is considered one
of Queensland’s strongest universities and is Australia’s leading tropical
university. The University takes its name from the renowned eighteenth
century English navigator and explorer James Cook (1728 – 1779) who first
charted the east coast of Australia.
He contributed significantly to the world of science – in geography,
astronomy and natural history.
The university is among the top 14 in Australia and the top 400 universities in the world, according to the recent rankings published by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Institute of Higher Education in 2007.
JCU’s Townsville campus is located in the safe, fast-growing coastal city of Townsville in northern Queensland, near to two World Heritage-listed natural wonders – the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and the Wet Tropics rainforests.
JCU prides itself on offering flexible degrees in a wide range of subject areas. It offers over 170 undergraduate programmes and more than 120 postgraduate programmes in the arts, business, commerce, accounting, creative arts, education, engineering, information technology, health and biomedical sciences, science, social sciences, tourism, hospitality management, psychology and sport and exercise science.
