Welcome to
JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY BRISBANE
“We hope Brisbane can be your home away from home.”
“Welcome to James Cook University Brisbane, a diverse community dedicated to providing students with
a high quality education in a friendly and supportive environment. At JCU Brisbane we pride ourselves on
delivering real world learning opportunities to ensure your study provides you with a valuable qualification
in today’s competitive business world.
Located in the heart of Brisbane’s central business district, JCU Brisbane’s high rise campus provides
students from all over the world with the opportunity to attend classes and explore everything our beautiful
city has to offer. With access to countless cafes, parks, Queen Street shopping mall, and a view of the iconic
Story Bridge within walking distance, we’re confident there is something here for everyone.
Smaller class sizes mean you will have greater access to lecturers, highly educated professionals who are
motivated to teach and guide you to succeed. We offer a broad range of experiences and engagement with
the university community in order to provide you with a truly Australian experience. We encourage you to
take full advantage of the facilities and services JCU Brisbane has to offer.
Comfortable winter temperatures and warm
summers mean we enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. With
only a relatively short commute by car or train,
you can experience what makes this state such a
wonderful place to live. Why not visit the beautiful
beaches of the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast
or explore the rainforests and waterfalls of our
surrounding mountains? We know the big move
to Brisbane may at times be overwhelming but we
hope Brisbane can be your home away from home.
I wish you every success during your time at JCU
Brisbane.”

University Brisbane. I have been working here since the campus opened in 2006

students with all the best opportunities to excel and access staff support. As
the Senior Associate Dean Academic, I look forward to meeting you all through
the course of your studies and I wish you the very best as you embark on this new
