Australia's low crime rates and Brisbane's comparatively lower living expenses and tuition costs, makes the city one of the most liveable and safest places in the world.James Cook University Brisbane Campus is a modern high rise building, centrally located in the Central Business District (CBD) located on Queen Street. Students have access to study space, computer stations, high speed internet and WiFi, leisure and activity rooms, all within walking distance of the riverfront, Queen Street's main shopping mall, city library and the many shops, parks and cafes that the city has to offer.

Trimester System The JCU Brisbane academic calendar caters for three study periods (or trimesters) beginning in March, July and November.This arrangement allows students to complete more subjects per year than a standard semester program traditionally operating at other Australian universities. JCU Brisbane is the only JCU campus in Australia to operate a trimester model.

From students who experience difficulty adjusting to the academic requirements of tertiary study, through to high achieving students who are aiming for excellence, all are welcome at The Learning Centre and will be supported and assisted by our Learning Advisers. Learning Advisers also work closely with the faculty to ensure that the help students get is targeted toward their studies.

The Learning Centre offers a drop-in service, one-to-one appointments, small group sessions and skills workshops which are advertised

regularly. This means that students have an abundance of opportunities to get the support, advice and assistance needed to achieve the results they desire.

Soo Lin TanMPA-MBAMalaysia

What I really love about JCU Brisbane is the awesome study environment which turned my study life from fear into enjoyment.

Coming from a completely different background without a shred of accountancy knowledge, I initially felt so stressed about the assignments and exams, however, with the prompt response and patience shown by the lecturers, I was surprised to obtain results well beyond my expectation.

What really distinguishes JCU Brisbane from others is the internship opportunity provided. I am currently an intern of Knight Frank Brisbane, an international real estate consultancy. Besides gaining invaluable experience working in an Australian organisation, the finance knowledge is very applicable to my future career.


Joblinx helped me get my foot in the door by assisting me in securing an internship in the Audit

Divison at HLB Mann Judd. Following my internship I was offered a Graduate position.

I highly encourage students to use their services, it can really change your life for the best!

OVERVIEWThe JCU Diploma of Higher Education (Business Studies) provides a flexible opportunity for international students to make the transition from secondary school into undergraduate studies. This program allows students who are not eligible to enrol directly into an undergraduate program to achieve a quality Australian university qualification through a highly regarded university. Australian education has different teaching styles and different learning expectations. These differences of culture, language and educational systems experienced by international students can be, at times, challenging. As such, students can require particular assistance.The JCU Diploma of Higher Education (Business Studies) is taken as an alternative to the first

year of the Bachelor of Business program when a student’s background indicates the need for extended teaching and learning support to progress in the Australian educational system. Students receive more class time than those in the Bachelor of Business program.Enrolling in the JCU Diploma of Higher Education (Business Studies) program does not extend the duration of the Bachelor of Business degree. The JCU Diploma of Higher Education (Business Studies) plus the Bachelor of Business degree package can still be completed within three (3) years, because direct credit is given for the JCU Diploma of Higher Education (Business Studies) towards the Bachelor of Business at JCU.
