James Cook University
A friendly world-class campus located in an environmental wonderland
If the natural environment is what attracts you to study abroad in Australia then you should consider James Cook University (JCU). The unique location of JCU allows for world-class studies in marine biology, biodiversity, tropical environmental studies, earth sciences, tropical health and tourism. JCU is consistently ranked in the world’s top three for research performance in the areas of ecology and environment, plant and animal sciences and geosciences, and is ranked among the top 12 tourism education institutions in the world with its special focus on ecotourism.
As a comprehensive university, you'll find that there are also plenty of other courses available covering topics such as indigenous peoples and sociology, rural education issues, business and economics and engineering related to tropical climates.
