University of the Sunshine Coast

Welcome to the University of the Sunshine Coast, UniSC for short. We're a young, fresh university driven by an unwavering belief that community and culture are just as important as a world-class education, given by world-class educators. 

We may not be the biggest university, but we’re growing every day, and doing big things. Like ground-breaking research, championing sustainability, and producing award-winning alumni. 

Our first campus on the Sunshine Coast opened its doors in 1996. Today, we span five campuses across Southeast Queensland. Being a young university means you’re never going to be limited by stale traditions or phrases like “That’s the way we’ve always done it”. We prefer innovative thinking that moves everyone forward. 

Our students have ranked UniSC as one of the best universities in Australia for teaching quality for 17 consecutive years.*

UniSC has 26 speciality areas including environmental sciences, nursing, medical and mental health sciences, biological sciences, engineering, technology, psychology, agriculture, human studies and communication.

Together with our people, community and partners, we’re building a safe, sustainable, supportive, and fun learning environment, where lifelong friends are made, and opportunities are earned.
