James Cook University is an Instant Response program
What is this?

What James Cook has to offer
• A comprehensive university and leader in teaching and research
• A strong commitment to the study of the region’s indigenous cultures
• Smaller class sizes and accessible teaching staff
• Two friendly campuses: at Townsville, in natural bushland that is home to wildlife such as cockatoos, kookaburras, scrub turkeys and kangaroos; and at Cairns, surrounded by rainforest-covered hills and 10 minutes from the beach
• Each campus is a relaxing environment with extensive bike paths and local bus services to the central business districts of both cities
• On-campus entertainment, athletic facilities and membership in a range of student clubs and organizations available

Housing
• Housing at Townsville is in on-campus residence halls, most of which have mandatory meal plans
• Housing at Cairns is in the Cairns Student Lodge, where students have a full meal plan, on-site computer lab and swimming pool
• Other living options are available near the campus and northern beaches of Cairns or in the city

Academics
• More than 170 undergraduate subjects across a wide range of disciplines
• Students may enroll in subjects at one of the campuses for a semester and switch to the other campus for the second semester
• Four faculties: law, business and the creative arts, science, engineering and information technology, arts, education and social sciences, and medicine, health and the molecular sciences
• Students take four courses per semester
