About

Welcome to UniSC, where you find research, learning and future-focused degrees that go beyond the expected. Way beyond.

For more than 30 years we've been transforming lives through learning and knowledge to create a better tomorrow.

We’re pushing the boundaries of research to tackle some of the world’s most pressing issues to ensure healthier people and a healthier planet. Things like championing sustainability and ground-breaking initiatives such as the world’s first approved koala vaccine to protect our iconic marsupials from deadly disease.

Not content with being rated five stars for teaching since 2006, we’re continually reimagining learning, with innovative, flexible options that allow each student to shape and pace their study experience so it works for best for them.

Here, our educators work hard every day to empower fresh thinkers and create engaging, creative and hands-on learning opportunities – helping to set students up for study and career success.

That’s why we’re rated Queensland’s top public university for overall experience, teaching quality, student support, learning resources and skills development.

So, join us as we pave the way for you to create a better future. Not only for yourself, but for the people, communities and world around you.
