About The University of Sunshine Coast

The University of the Sunshine Coast is a public university based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. After opening with 524 students in 1996 as the Sunshine Coast University College, it was later renamed the University of the Sunshine Coast in 1999.

Every student matters to us, which is why USC is rated as one of Australia’s best universities for overall student experience.

Whether it’s practical work experience or the chance to pursue a lifelong passion, to connect with your community or to travel, we’ll help you realize every opportunity.

We’re a young university, not limited by tradition or old ways of thinking. We strive to pass this mindset on to our students and staff. Whether it’s building a career or pursuing a lifelong passion, connecting with your community at home or all around the world, we’re here to help you realize every opportunity.

We value your natural curiosity, your creativity, your resourcefulness, and your commitment to making an impact on the people around you.

This supportive environment sets us apart – our teachers and staff dedicated to ensuring you have the tools you need to reach your goals, whatever they may be.

We provide the hands-on learning and practical skills needed by the people of our diverse regions from Moreton Bay to the Fraser Coast: the nurses, teachers, mental health and medical professionals, environmentalists, scientists, engineers, lawyers, problem solvers, creators and creative thinkers, high-performance athletes, entrepreneurs and the leaders of tomorrow who improve the lives of people at home and abroad.

USC will be a university of international standing and an unsurpassed community asset, focusing on the region from Moreton Bay to Fraser Coast.
