JCU Welcome Information Session

11 November 2014

James Cook University is the second oldest university in Queensland, and Australia’s leading university in the tropics. Diverse environments, vibrant communities and challenging academic programs are just a few of the reasons why so many students choose to study abroad at JCU. No other university can offer such a wide range of classes in the shadow of two of the world’s finest natural heritage areas—the Wet Tropics Rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef.
