University of Canberra - What's the attraction?
If you’ve ever worked somewhere with a clear vision of the future you know it is not only exciting, it ‘s motivating. At the University of Canberra you know where you’re headed and you know your colleagues are working with you to create something special. Our Vice-Chancellor has a clear vision for our future and through his leadership we are to creating our future today.
By 2018 the University of Canberra will be internationally recognised for its research-led education in public administration and services; whether those services be governmental, environmental, educational, health-related, creative or in the course of business. We will draw students and researchers from around the world because of our reputation for programs which meet the current needs of modern governments, public services and the professions which support them.
Specifically:
- we will be ranked in the upper half of Australian universities in reputable institutional indices, and in the top third for our educational performance;
- we will have 10,000 full-time equivalent students, with average funding 20% higher in real terms than in 2008;
- we will use information and communication technologies to their full potential;
- our courses will be known for the way they prepare professional people professionally, through work-based learning and collaborative teaching with external agencies;
- our research and creative practices will be applied to making the world a better and more secure place for all its inhabitants.
