"Thank you for considering a career at our University - you'll find we have a lot to offer."

The University of Canberra, which is enjoying a period of rapid growth, is Australia’s Capital University. It is committed to delivering professional education and applied research to the Australian Capital Territory and its surrounding region.

Our focus is on building a vibrant culture of enquiry and innovation, of encouragement and empowerment. We believe that the most effective teaching is informed by personal research.

We have restructured our academic career progression to allow research-active, early career academics to accelerate their careers through rapid promotion, mentoring and skill development.

Our research, in areas as broad as ecology, economic modelling, virology, sports studies, health, forensics, national security, governance, urban planning and design, delivers real-life solutions to real-world challenges. Our research income and research publications are continuing to increase.

Ours is a small campus. In a recent survey one respondent described it as 'boutique, with a friendly atmosphere, sense of development and forward momentum.'

I invite you to explore our accomplishments to date, our faculties, our campus and most of all, our vision for the future; and should you resolve to share it, I look forward to welcoming you."
