 | | Located in tropical North Queensland, James Cook University (JCU) is closer to the Barrier Reef than any other Australian university, as well as surrounded by the beauty of tropical savannahs, bushlands, and a World Heritage-listed rainforest. |
 | | JCU's proximity to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and its relationships with industry and nearby communities enable the University to offer strong programs in marine biology, geology, environmental and rainforest science, anthropology, indigenous studies, biological sciences, and regional development. |
 | | The University's Townsville Campus, which is set in natural bushland by the Ross River, accommodates 8,500 students and seven residential colleges. |
