At the Cairns campus, students enjoy a fresh and individualised learning experience coupled with small class sizes, the latest teaching technology and expert lecturers, all within a supportive and inclusive learning environment. With flexible learning options, students can choose to study on-campus, online or ‘mixed mode’ (characterised by online lectures and residential school for practical learning).
Whilst we are proud to offer students a great on-campus experience, we also value and pride ourselves on our online delivery, helping students from the more remote areas of the region to access quality education and thrive in an online environment. Our campus support team (including academic staff, learning advisors, well-being and student advisors) are available to all students (regardless of study mode) at the campus or via phone/Teams.
The Cairns campus has strong links to both community and business/industry and is committed to playing a pivotal role in the economic and social development of the Cairns region through its partnerships and research capacity.
CQUniversity is open to discussions with industry in relation to course development, course feedback, opportunities for partnerships relating to student placements and general research opportunities.
With significant local research capability in the built environment, renewable energies, automation and smart grid, artificial intelligence, internet of things, health and mental health, psychological science, education, sport and exercise science and digital media/arts technologies, business and tourism, the Cairns campus and our University makes a great partner for local industries to thrive through connection to new knowledge and commercialisation potential.
