A degree from James Cook University is a
qualification of international standing, as our
University is consistently ranked among the top
four per cent of universities in the world.
Our students are privileged to be taught by
world-leading academics. With a focus on
practical course experience, you will complete
your degree ready for the workforce. This is a
defining factor for employers and, in 2012, we
were awarded five stars by the Good Universities
Guide for ‘success in getting a job’.
The quality of our teaching is recognised by the
Australian Learning and Teaching Council, which
has awarded our staff 39 national awards for
teaching excellence over the past five years.

With the full purchase of our Singapore campus,
we have extended our reach and sharpened our
focus on issues of importance to the tropics.
What this means for students is that James
Cook University is now truly an international
university where over the coming years, there
will be more opportunities for our students to
spend time studying in Singapore as part of their
degree program.
This guide is designed to help you learn about
the University – our courses, campuses and
more. I invite you to explore all that we have
to offer and if you have further questions, staff
at our Student Centre will be more than happy
to assist.
