You can be confident about choosing James Cook University as your University.  We have been ranked among the best universities in the world for the strength of our teaching programs and the high calibre of our research.  Our graduates make a difference in roles around the country and the world.

James Cook Unviersity Brisbane, a campus operated by Russo Higher Education in Queensland's capital city of Brisbane, provides high quality programs in business and information technology, in a supportive environment.

Because this campus operates a trimester system, it is possible to complete your James Cook University degree in a shorter time.  What's more, graduates are valued by employers for their combination of academic knowledge, practical expertise and sound commercial and technology skills.
