The University of Canberra is here to serve the Capital region through education and research.

Our research has shaped Canberra and contributes to our region鈥檚 health and wellbeing, education, environmental stability and future, creativity, technology and government initiatives and policy.

UC researchers contribute to global knowledge in their fields, and many of them also teach our students, bringing their expertise and research insights to their classes. As a university, we also develop and nurture the next generation of researchers and highly-skilled professionals, who will play a critical role in our future. 

Research impact is the contribution research makes to the economy, society, environment, and culture beyond its contribution to academic research. Impact starts with great ideas and great connections with the world outside of academia, and continues with high quality research designed performed in consultation with partners in government, commercial industries and non-profit sectors.
