Research at UC
Yumalundi, welcome
The University of Canberra is a young civic university focused on undertaking meaningful applied research that makes an impact where it matters, particularly in the capital region, while contributing to global knowledge and challenges.
Our commitment to the capital region is at the heart of our research initiatives. We engage local communities, industry and government to collaboratively build knowledge and develop research-backed solutions.
As a smaller Australian university, we collaborate across disciplines to solve complex problems facing our community, country and world.
Advancing and sharing knowledge through teaching and research is at the heart of our University.
UC is here to serve the capital region, from Canberra to the South Coast, Snowy Monaro and Yass Valley, through education and research. We impact the health and wellbeing, education, environmental stability, creativity, technology and governance of this place and its people.
We also make our mark nationally and globally across our disciplines.
