JCU Singapore
JCU Singapore (JCUS) was established in 2003 as JCU's first international campus. JCU is ranked in the world’s top 400 universities, and in the top 100 in Asia and the Pacific (Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Academic Ranking of World Universities, 2008) and Singapore has been voted ‘Best in Asia for Quality of Life’ (source: Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Quality of Living Survey 2006).
JCUS offers a world-class choice for students. Bringing programs direct from Australia and resident senior academic staff from JCU to ensure academic quality, students studying at JCUS can be assured of the same enriching university education as our Australian students.
JCUS offers fast track delivery of degrees, allowing students to complete their studies in a shorter duration (usually two years) than conventional Australian degrees. Coupled together with lower course fees and living expenses, JCUS presents an ideal study location.
Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets. The main island has a total land area of 682 square km. However, its compact size belies its economic growth. In just 150 years, Singapore has grown into a thriving centre of commerce and industry. Its former role as an entrepot has diminished, as the nation has increased its manufacturing base.
Singapore is the busiest port in the world with over 600 shipping lines sending super tankers, container ships and passenger liners to share the busy waters with coastal fishing vessels and wooden lighters. One of the world's major oil refining and distribution centres, Singapore is a major supplier of electronic components and a leader in shipbuilding and repairing. It has also become one of the most important financial centres of Asia, with more than 130 banks. Business dealings are facilitated by Singapore's superb communications network which links the nation to the rest of the world via satellite, 24-hour telegraph and telephone systems.
Singapore's strategic location, excellent facilities, fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as a leading destination for both business and leisure. Learn more about JCU Singapore.
