JCU is ranked in the top 500 universities in the World by The Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities 2007 and is a member of the consortium of Innovative Research Universities Australia.

The University’s tropical focus underpins its research mission, which has two complementary themes reflecting the University’s tropical and regional location.

This focus is complemented by a commitment to the delivery of research benefits to the northern Queensland community.
