Map of Australia 1800

The University of Canberra prides itself in being a recognised leader in the provision of high quality undergraduate and postgraduate education with a sound research profile. The University places an emphasis on professional education and applied research.

The University of Canberra educates professionals for approximately 30 different professions, including health, education, resource science, communication, design, business and government, international studies and cultural heritage.

The degree programs are based on the principle of work-integrated learning. That is, scholarly knowledge and professional skills are developed directly for a chosen career and the relevant work-place. To the extent possible, this is done in direct collaboration with employers, professional bodies and on-site.

 

This learning and teaching model is applied across the curriculum so that our graduates acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to operate professionally in the workplace with an understanding of the culture and demands of their chosen career.

 

Our teaching and learning emphasise flexible programs, student-centred learning and development of graduate qualities for successful employment. The University is consistently among those with the highest employment rates for graduates in Australia, and has been so for many years.
