Sport lies at the heart of the University of Canberra. It is part of our history, present and future.
Sport embodies our UC values – integrity, collaboration, inclusion, innovation and entrepreneurship. It builds our community, connects cultures and regions, bolsters our identity, and promotes social justice, diversity, and physical and mental wellbeing.
We are ideally and uniquely positioned in the nation’s capital to become Australia’s leading university for sport education and research, focusing on gender equality and women in sport, sports integrity and building a culture of wellness.
Our significant, ongoing investments will further grow our prominent position in the national sporting landscape. We are perfectly positioned at home in Canberra, a city designed for sport, where we have built strong relationships with key sporting institutions across the region.
Here's how we'll deliver on that vision.
