CQUniversity is Australia’s largest regional university (following a recent merger with CQ TAFE) and is one of nation’s most engaged and accessible universities offering hundreds of education and training options from short courses, certificates and diplomas to undergraduate, postgraduate and research higher degrees.
CQUniversity Australia’s Adelaide campus is situated to the south-west of the city within close proximity to the Adelaide Showgrounds, making it easily accessible to various forms of public transport. The Campus is home to The Appleton Institute, a multidisciplinary research hub. The institute specialises in research, teaching and community engagement in a wide range of areas including safety science, sleep and fatigue, human factors and safety management, applied psychology, human-animal interaction, and cultural anthropology.
Some of our courses in disciplines like emergency services, occupational health and safety, psychology and information technology are now delivered on campus, providing students with access to our small class sizes which encourage a personalised and interactive learning experience, and provide an opportunity for students to build strong and highly valuable relationships with the teaching staff and their fellow peers.
A leading provider of distance education, CQUniversity operates dedicated Study Centres and Partner Study Hubs for distance students to access facilities and support in Adelaide, Brisbane, Cairns, Cannonvale, Charters Towers, Emerald, Geralton, Karratha, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Townsville.
Local and International students study or train on-campus at locations including Adelaide, Biloela, Brisbane, Bundaberg, Emerald, Gladstone, Mackay, Melbourne, Noosa, Rockhampton, Sydney and Yeppoon. CQUniversity has also established itself as a research focused university and in the 2012 Excellence in Research Australia rankings the University was rated at or above world standard in the areas of agriculture, applied mathematics, nursing and medical and health sciences.
