The University of Canberra is proudly the university of the nation’s capital. However, it is not constrained by geography and offers an increasingly international experience.
Research takes a global perspective, with the University’s researchers delivering breakthroughs that help solve real-world problems. In addition to research within and between faculties, there are three ‘university research centres’: the Institute for
Governance and Policy Analysis, the Institute for Applied Ecology and the National
Institute for Sports Studies.
The Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis specialises in modelling the consequences of policy changes and study and practice of governance, including public policy, management and justice. The Institute for Applied Ecology works to mitigate environmental threats both in Australia and overseas. Areas of focus include the health of our rivers, identifying invasive species and understanding how sex is determined in lizards. The National Institute for Sports Studies research areas include high performance sport, clinical exercise and rehabilitation, physical literacy and sports design. Other areas of research expertise at the University encompass education, communication, health and forensic science.
The University places a strong emphasis on ‘work-integrated learning’, which gives students valuable experience in the workplace before they graduate. In addition to internships off campus, the University also has its own working health clinic where students can give supervised treatment to real patients. Providing students with the necessary work skills allows them to hit the ground running and start making a real contribution early in their career. This is why the University’s graduates are among the most sought after in the country and why the University is consistently awarded a maximum five star rating for ‘getting a job’ in the Good Universities Guide.
The University has achieved global recognition, with its place in the latest QS World
University Rankings putting the University of Canberra in the top five per cent of universities in the world.
There are currently more than 16,000 students, representing 100 countries, studying at the University of Canberra, and the University offers guaranteed accommodation for all first year and international students, including rooms in its new 400-bed accommodation complex, opened on campus in 2014. The vibrant, friendly campus is home to a selection of eateries and health and fitness facilities. It also plays host to live music, including the famous touring music festival Groovin’ the Moo, and boasts a pub serving locally brewed beer.
An on-campus GP super clinic will open in early 2014 while future campus developments include a new public hospital and a ‘sporting commons’, housing the
Brumbies Super Rugby team. These facilities will be integrated into teaching and research, and provide exciting new avenues for the University to serve its community.
Like-minded organisations are also being invited to help develop the campus and be part of the University’s culture of innovation, research and education. The University’s plans are ambitious, far-reaching and led by a vision that will be relalised in 2018 when it turns 50 – a vision to be recognised as one of Australia’s most innovative tertiary institutions; world-ranked, with regional, national and international reach.

CQUniversity Australia has a unique and interesting history. The University was originally founded in Rockhampton in 1967 and was known as the Queensland Institute of Technology (Capricornia). By 1974 it was among only a few Australian institutes to commence the delivery of distance education.
Between 1978 and 1989 further campuses were established in Bundaberg, Emerald,
Gladstone, and Mackay and in 1992 the Institute achieved full University status to become known as Central Queensland University. Along with locations in regional
Queensland, CQUniversity has also expanded its presence throughout Australia with campuses in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Noosa and Sydney, Study Centres in Biloela and Yeppoon, a Cairns Distance Education Study Centre, a delivery site in
Edithvale, Victoria, and Partner Study Hubs in Cannonvale, Queensland and Geraldton,
Western Australia.
Now more than 20 years on, and following a merger with CQ TAFE on 1 July 2014,
CQUniversity is responsible for providing a diverse range of training and education programs and courses to more than 30,000 students studying qualifications from certificate to post doctorate level.
Study areas include Apprenticeships, Trades and Training, Business, Accounting and
Law, Creative, Performing and Visual Arts, Education and Humanities, Engineering and Built Environment, Health, Information Technology and Digital Media, Psychology,
Social Work and Community Services, Science and Environment, and Work and Study
Preparation. The merger with CQ TAFE saw the establishment of Queensland’s first dual sector university, providing a more comprehensive approach to education, training, research and engagement in the central Queensland region and beyond.
CQUniversity continues to be a leader in the delivery of distance education with approximately half of the student cohort being made up of students studying by distance education. Compared to other universities, CQUniversity is also proud to have the highest ratio of students from mature age, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, first-in-family and low socio-economic backgrounds. The University defines itself by who it embraces rather than who it excludes, and because of this is widely recognised as Australia’s most inclusive university.
What’s more, CQUniversity students have some of the best graduate outcomes, with recent data released by Graduate Careers Australia indicating that CQUniversity has an overall full-time graduate employment rate of 81.1 percent. This figure is almost
10 percent higher than the national average of 71.3 percent for Australian resident bachelor degree graduates.
CQUniversity has also established itself as a research focused university and in the 2012
Excellence in Research Australia rankings the University was rated at or above world standard in the areas of agriculture, applied mathematics, nursing, and medical and health sciences.
CQUniversity is among Australia’s most engaged universities and throughout the years has formed valuable partnerships with government, community and industry groups, right across the national university footprint and overseas.

Charles Darwin University (CDU) is the main education and training provider in the
Northern Territory. It is a dual-sector university with courses ranging from certificate through to doctoral level.
CDU has campuses in Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs, Katherine and Nhulunbuy, and study centres in Yulara, Jabiru and Tennant Creek. The University also delivers education and training into 170 remote centres across the Territory.
More than 22,000 students study with CDU, which is attracting an increasing number of international students from more than 60 countries.
CDU expands its capacity through strategic partnerships, such as its partnership with
ANU through the Northern Research Futures Collaborative Research Network,
Flinders University, which has developed a Medical Program that enables students to study Medicine in Darwin, and Batchelor College through the Australian Centre for
Indigenous Knowledges and Education.
The University is responsive to the needs of the NT and countries in close proximity to Northern Australia. The North Australian Centre for Oil and Gas, for example, provides research, education and training specific to the oil and gas industry.
CDU is a member of the Innovative Research Universities network, which promotes high-quality research and collaboration between members.
In just one decade, building on a heritage dating back to 1949, CDU has developed into an exemplary research-intensive university, ranked highly relative to its size and scale in
Australia’s Excellence in Research in Australia assessment and in international university rankings. The 2013 Times Higher Education World University Rankings placed CDU in the top 2 per cent of universities worldwide for the third consecutive year. Times
Higher Education also ranked CDU in the top 100 universities in the world under 50 years old, and QS World University Ranks placed CDU in the top 500.
To achieve focus, and align research with the changing economic profile of Northern
Australia, the University has identified two broad fields of research, critical to our region, to be maintained at world class or above: Environment and Livelihoods, and
Human Health and Wellbeing. A limited number of research fields that are strategically important to the Northern Territory, with the potential to develop into world class fields of research, have been identified including: Social and Public Policy, Education at the interface with Health, and Energy. In addition, Indigenous Knowledges is a crosscutting research focus that is integral to the areas identified above.

Curtin University is an internationally recognised research and teaching university based in Perth. The University was founded 48 years ago as the Western Australian Institute of Technology, and was accorded university status in 1987.
Curtin is Western Australia’s largest and most culturally diverse university, with more than 16,500 international students welcomed as part of the 61,000-strong student body. In addition to Curtin’s Bentley Campus in Perth, the University has campuses in
Sydney, Malaysia and Singapore, and several education centres in rural areas of WA.
Curtin supports comprehensive education and research programs across five areas:
Faculty of Science and Engineering, Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Humanities,
Curtin Business School and Centre for Aboriginal Studies.
Curtin’s delivery of high-impact research is evidenced by its inclusion once again in the top 500 research universities of the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The
University’s areas of research strength include minerals and energy, ICT and emerging technologies, sustainable development, and health.
A precursor telescope for the $2 billion Square Kilometre Array, the much-lauded
Murchison Widefield Array officially began operations in 2013. The project, led by the
Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy, incorporates partnerships across several countries, and engages with local and international research facilities. The University’s new supercomputing facility iVEC@Curtin, for example, provides advanced ICT capabilities for this project, in addition to numerous other research projects.
The University’s commitment to diversity and equity was strongly recognised in 2013.
The annual Pride in Diversity Awards named Curtin the Highest Ranking University in Australia for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) Workplace
Inclusion, while Curtin’s Ally program – which assists LGBTI staff, students and the
Curtin community – received runner-up for LGBTI Employee Network of the Year.
In addition, Curtin was chosen in 2013 to host the National Centre for Student Equity in Higher Education for three years to December 2015, following a competitive process open to Australia’s 37 public universities. The centre is a $3 million government initiative that helps develop and implement policies to make higher education accessible to all.
Curtin’s focus on the preservation of Indigenous culture in WA was also recognised in a significant decision by Colgate University, New York, to transfer 122 artworks created by Indigenous children of the Stolen Generations from the 1940s to the University. The
Herbert Mayer Collection of Carrolup Artwork was ‘rediscovered’ decades after it had been donated and ‘lost’ in storage at Colgate. The Koolark Koort Koorliny (Heart
Coming Home) exhibition at the University’s John Curtin Gallery in 2013 celebrated the artworks’ return to Noongar country, and plans are underway to tour the collection through Australia’s South West in 2014.

Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a large multi-campus institution serving communities in Western Australia and a significant cohort of international students. Awarded university status in 1991, in just its 21st year ECU was named in the Times Higher
Education 100 Under 50 list, a global ranking of the best universities under the age of
50.
ECU has more than 23,300 students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
Approximately 3,600 of these are international students originating from approximately
104 countries. More than 320 courses are offered through four faculties:
• Business and Law
• Health, Engineering and Science
• Education and Arts, including the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts
• Regional Professional Studies, based at ECU South West
ECU works closely with private and public sector organisations, locally and overseas, in designing its study programs. For the past five years the Good Universities Guide has awarded ECU five stars – the highest star rating – for its teaching quality, generic skills and graduate satisfaction.
The University has two metropolitan campuses in Mount Lawley and Joondalup and also serves Western Australia’s South West region from a campus in Bunbury,
200 km south of Perth. The Perth Graduate School of Business at the Mount Lawley
Campus provides quality, market-driven business education focused on the needs of postgraduate students and employers.
ECU is committed to breaking down barriers to education and is considered a pioneer in the development of alternative entry pathways to higher education, helping a diverse range of Western Australians reach their potential. These alternative pathways also help to address the chronic skills shortage in many parts of the Australian economy, ensuring the country can compete globally through knowledge and innovation.
Engagement with the community is one of the University’s strategic priorities, and significant effort is invested in creating productive and mutually beneficial partnerships.
For example, the ECU Health and Wellness Institute brings together researchers from the disciplines of exercise science, physiotherapy, dietetics and psychology to both undertake research and develop programs that significantly improve the health of the community. Current activities include the Diabetes Wellness Program, Cancer Survivor
Program, Weigh To Go Kids and Living Longer, Living Stronger.
An emphasis on conducting research with industry partners in areas such as e-commerce, micro-electronics engineering, police studies, security, education, ecosystem management, health, social justice and human services has seen ECU develop a lively applied research culture.
Its researchers are also recognised for their wider contributions to society, with child health researcher Professor Donna Cross being named the 2012 WA Australian of the
Year and Alzheimer’s disease researcher Professor Ralph Martins being named the 2010
WA Australian of the Year.

In its near 50 year history, Flinders University has made a substantial contribution to higher education in South Australia and, in recent years, has also achieved a prominent position as a leading education provider in the Northern Territory, particularly in the field of medicine.
As major pillars of its Strategic Plan, the University has a commitment to building better communities, to high quality teaching and learning and to international engagement, as well as to research that has social, cultural and economic relevance. A $120 million building project under way at Tonsley, close to the main campus, will be the focus for technology-rich teaching, research and innovation activities that will provide a platform for collaboration with local industries and manufacturers and an impetus for economic transformation in Adelaide’s southern region.
Flinders has trained medical students in the NT since 1997. In 2011 Flinders launched the Northern Territory Medical Program which allows students to complete a Flinders
MD while remaining resident in Darwin. Today Flinders is the most significant external provider of tertiary education in the Northern Territory with major facilities on the
Casuarina Campus of Charles Darwin University, at Royal Darwin Hospital and in Alice
Springs.
The University’s commitment to innovative teaching has led to a strong and continuing record of success in awards for individuals and teams from the Australian Government
Office of Learning and Teaching from 2006 to 2013. As part of its engagement with the communities it serves, Flinders provides a world class education for its students in a supportive environment, and enhances educational opportunities for students from communities with low rates of university participation.
For more than a decade, Flinders has been one of the most highly regarded international providers of postgraduate education in Asia, teaching courses in China with Nankai University, Tianjin and with other leading universities in Beijing, Hong
Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Research collaborations in China are focused on Changsha and Shandong. Flinders is also extending its links with higher education providers and government agencies in Indonesia, in which capacity-building in social work and disability services is a priority. Offshore and onshore programs with Indonesian universities in nursing, business and international relations are recent additions.
Flinders research initiatives include the recent appointment of over 20 prominent academics as Strategic Professors across the University’s areas of research focus: Water and the Environment, Health and Human Behaviour, Biomedical and Clinical Sciences,
Molecular Science and Technology, and Culture Policy and Society. Leading researchers at Flinders include biomedical engineer and medical device developer Professor Karen
Reynolds and bowel cancer pioneer Professor Graeme Young, who were named South
Australian Scientist of the Year in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
Flinders offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses in 14 schools across four faculties; Flinders has more than 2,700 staff and over 23,000 students. On and offshore international students number over 3,800 and come from over 100 countries. Flinders has on-site housing for 500 students, and its own international pathways college.

In 2014, Macquarie University celebrates its Jubilee Year. In just 50 years it has emerged to a position of striking innovation in education and focused excellence in research.
Macquarie was established from the outset to be a different kind of university: it was, and remains, a bold experiment in higher education.
The University has a distinctive mission to serve the needs of industry and community, and is located on an expansive campus in Sydney’s northwest, in the heart of what has become one of Australia’s largest and most vibrant economic and technology precincts.
Macquarie was the first Australian university to provide special entry provisions for mature-age students. It established the first actuarial studies degree in the Englishspeaking world outside of the US, the world’s first full externally-taught science degree, as well as the first external law degree in Australia.
This distinctive and innovative approach to education has gathered momentum in recent years: the PACE (Professional and Community Engagement) program of civic and institutional participation for students; expanding partnerships with corporate and community institutions on campus and further afield; and the establishment of a unique academic health precinct, are just some examples.
Macquarie is a comprehensive university that values interdisciplinary research and teaching. It has great strengths in the physical and Earth sciences, social sciences, arts and selected professional disciplines; and 85 per cent of its research activity is rated through the ‘Excellence in Research in Australia’ initiative at world standard or higher.
In recognition of its many achievements, Macquarie University has received a rating of 5
QS Stars – a rating that is only attained by truly world-class institutions.
The University is located on a magnificent parkland campus, within one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities. Researchers, teachers and students are well supported by recent investments of more than $1 billion in facilities and infrastructure. Examples include the 144-bed Macquarie University Hospital, global headquarters for one of Australia’s most successful biotechnology companies – Cochlear Ltd – and the
Australian Hearing Hub.
The Macquarie University campus is connected to the Sydney CBD by fast and efficient transport – 20 minutes by car and 30 minutes by train. Teaching is also delivered through the smaller Macquarie City Campus, and in Melbourne, Singapore, Hong Kong and Beijing. As such, the University is a popular destination for international students, and has a generous outbound mobility program.
Since 2012, the University has been led by Professor S Bruce Dowton, who joined
Macquarie from Harvard Medical School to become the University’s fifth Vice-
Chancellor and President and who, in 2013, launched the University’s new, and longterm, strategic framework.

Murdoch University is a research-led institution that offers a comprehensive range of degree programs at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Now almost forty years of age, Murdoch has become recognised for its excellent research, teaching and high levels of student satisfaction. The narrative for Murdoch’s research and teaching approach is that it is focused on translational outcomes for the benefit of local, national and international communities.
Our researchers engage with a broad range of significant scientific and social challenges including those relating to primary food production, land, water and resources management, animal and human health and welfare. The translation of basic science into practice through community engagement, public policy research and the study of international affairs, politics and economics are also fundamental to our research effort. The promotion of research led teaching and evidence based practice across the academy has fuelled a reputation for excellence through relevance as we seek to future-proof our students’ qualifications while working towards tackling some of the world’s most wicked problems including food security, biosecurity, infectious and lifestyle diseases. Medical, veterinary and allied health training is supported by a fully operational veterinary hospital, state of the art surgical skills training facilities and oncampus psychology and other allied health clinics and simulated learning environments.
Law students hone their skills in a simulated courtroom while engineers gain hands-on experience through an experimental desalination plant and an instrumentation and control engineering pilot plant.
Murdoch University is a member of the Innovative Research Universities group of
Australia, a network of young, vibrant universities conducting research of national and international standing. A recent Australian Government audit of research excellence found that Murdoch University is performing at world-class standard (or above) in over
85 per cent of the assessed areas. In addition, Murdoch was one of only two Western
Australian universities included in the Times Higher Education World University
Rankings in both 2012-13 and 2013-14. The University also ranked at 57 in the 2013
Times Higher Education Top 100 Universities Under the age of 50.

The University of New England (UNE) is a regionally based, globally networked university that is renowned for the quality of its student experience and the excellence of its research. UNE was founded as Australia’s first regional university, with a mission to provide access to education and research for the regional community. It was the first provider of off-campus tertiary education in Australia and is now a leader in online innovation and flexible tertiary education delivery.
UNE is one of the largest and fastest growing online providers of higher education in
Australia. 78% of its students are studying fully online, with a further 10% studying via mixed mode. The number of students commencing an online degree has grown by more than 37 per cent since 2011. The University’s main campus is located at Armidale,
NSW, halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, on 260 hectares of picturesque bushland as well as ten regional study centres throughout northern New South Wales and a growing international network of partner institutions.
UNE uses the latest online technologies to bring external students closer to their lecturers in Armidale and around the world. In 2013, UNE opened its first
FutureCampus in Parramatta, where online students in the Greater Western Sydney area have access to real-time telepresence classes with lecturers from around the world, as well as the latest interactive learning and information technologies for group and individual studies. On-campus students enjoy relatively small class sizes and close interaction with teaching staff, with about half of these students living in residential colleges. UNE aspires to be Australia’s leading residential collegiate university. UNE offers a vibrant college community, providing networks of friends, academic support, social and sporting activities.
UNE offers a diverse and attractive portfolio of professional courses in education and health, economics, business, law, medicine, social and behavioural sciences and the natural, rural and environmental sciences. These courses complement the University’s considerable reputation across the traditional disciplines in the arts and sciences. UNE has a proud history of high quality research, with a particular emphasis on tackling complex questions in rural and regional Australia. This research is underpinned by five thematic research priorities: Australia’s future food and water security; Environmental sustainability and policy; Health and wellbeing in rural communities; Australia’s regional history and protection and promotion of cultural heritage; and in regional and rural development, sustainability, prosperity and peace.
UNE has developed a close network of international research partners, delivering improvements in health, productivity and quality of life to communities not only in rural and regional Australia, but across the developed and developing world. Within
Australia, UNE has strong industry links that are reflected in Cooperative Research
Centres for sheep, poultry, spatial information, polymers, bushfires and natural hazards, remote economic participation and invasive animals. UNE also hosts a number of flagship research centres including the Institute for Rural Futures (IRF), The National

Starting from small beginnings in Western Australia in 1989, with an initial cohort of 70 postgraduate Education students, the University now has more than 11,000 students enrolled across its three campuses in Broome, Fremantle and Sydney.
Since its inception, Notre Dame has become a leader in the provision and delivery of higher education across the country.
Notre Dame is a national university which has embraced both the modern Australian university tradition and the ancient and esteemed traditions of Catholic universities in both Europe and North America.
It has sought to be a university which specialises in the excellence of undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as promote and facilitate higher research initiatives for students and academic staff.
Students can study a variety of courses in the Schools of Medicine, Law, Education,
Nursing & Midwifery, Business, Physiotherapy, Philosophy and Theology, Arts &
Sciences and Health Sciences.
Most notably, findings of the Australian Graduate Survey’s 2012 Graduate Destination
Survey show that the total percentage of Notre Dame Bachelor degree graduates in full-time employment is almost 10 percentage points higher compared with the national average of all Australian universities.
The application process to Notre Dame is also different. At Notre Dame, each individual is considered on a unique basis. The University considers each applicant’s
Year 12 tertiary ranking score to ensure they meet the academic requirements for each study program, but these scores are not the sole criterion for admission.
Notre Dame also considers an applicant’s personal qualities, motivation for study, leadership skills and community involvement – something the University believes is more important than just a ‘figure’.
Notre Dame is recognised for its commitment to the education of, and service to, the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia. Over the coming years, the
Broome Campus will be transformed into a Pathways, Training and Research Hub to offer unique opportunities for students and staff in the areas of education and research.
Through the Nulungu Research Institute, the University is committed to reconciliation and excellence in the teaching, researching and valuing of community-based cultural knowledge.

UWS has built a reputation as a highly adaptable and responsive university, with consistently high student satisfaction ratings, and praise from Australian Universities
Quality Agency as a “University of the People”. The University brings knowledge to life in the education of students for employment, the application of research to contemporary problems, and mutually enriching partnerships with local schools, businesses, and community groups.
Established in 1989, UWS can trace its history back to 1891 when its oldest predecessor, the Hawkesbury Agricultural College, enrolled its first students. Today the University has over 41,000 students and 2500 staff. Its diverse local and international population creates a vibrant, intellectual environment, and enriches the student experience.
Each campus has its own character and although it’s among Australia’s largest universities, UWS is known as a friendly and welcoming place. UWSCollege, the
University’s pathways college is significantly expanding its operations in 2014 with new facilities opening at the Penrith and Bankstown campuses. The University also has a new campus in Lithgow opening in 2014, as well as a new campus in the heart of the busy
Parramatta CBD.
UWS has professionally relevant degrees, with many courses developed with industry input, and taught by people who are leaders in their fields. UWS academics have taken out the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award for Australian University Teacher of the Year for two consecutive years, with Professor Roy Tasker and Professor James Arvanitakis receiving the accolade in 2011 and 2012 respectively.
UWS graduates create an impact through their professional endeavours and help to make a difference in their communities. They are known by employers for being able to “hit the ground running” and are achieving career successes in government, the legal profession, health, scientific and research fields, business, and through the arts, creative disciplines and the humanities.
