Why JCU for Study Abroad?
Diverse environments, vibrant communities and challenging academic programs – just a few of the reasons why so many students choose to study abroad at James Cook University. No other university can offer such a wide range of classes in the shadow of two of the world's finest natural world heritage areas - The Wet Tropic Rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef.
Diverse study options
Whatever your credit transfer needs, JCU can provide you with a choice of classes to broaden your academic experience and enrich your personal outlook. JCU's innovative teaching styles encourage personal achievement, and as a leading research university, our programs are informed by discovery. Many study areas offer field trips that take you into the awesome northern Queensland environment.
Location and lifestyle
Northern Queensland is well known for embracing a relaxed tropical lifestyle. The cities of Cairns and Townsville, where JCU's main campuses are located, are popular destinations for visitors with modern facilities and vibrant, multicultural populations not usually found outside of capital cities with Indigenous, European and Asian communities. Of course, the Great Barrier Reef, ancient rainforests and tropical beaches are all there to explore. The outback is just as accessible and provides opportunities to experience the Australia of legend.
Northern Queensland is located in tropical Australia. With year-long sun and perfect days, the area is filled with abundant attractions and activities to explore during your time here. Visit Tropical Northern Queensland to find out more.
