James Cook University Revenue and Competitors

One of the world's leading institutions focusing on the tropics, Australia's James Cook University is surrounded by the spectacular ecosystems of the rainforests of the Wet tropics, the dry savannahs, and the iconic Great Barrier Reef. Our unique location enables students from Australia and overseas to study in a diverse physical environment unparalleled by any university in the world. Since our establishment in 1970, we have expanded into a multi-campus institution with campuses in Townsville, Cairns and Singapore. There are smaller study centres in Mount Isa, Thursday Island, and Mackay. We also have an international campus in Brisbane, operated by Russo Higher Education. We also recognise our special obligation to be relevant to our own region and have forged close linkages into the economy and social fabric of the northern Queensland. We are dedicated to ensuring that our teaching, learning and research is not only of high quality, but also delivers practical benefits to the peoples and industries of the region.
