澳大利亚詹姆斯库克大学校长致词

詹姆斯库克大学是一所有活力的大学，其环境与生态研究在世界一直稳固地处于领先地位。作为澳大利亚一所优秀的热带研究及教育学院，JCU许多研究活动专注于热带生物相关区域-如热带健康、海洋科学、地球科学、环境研究、旅游业与农业。

上海交通大学2006年世界大学学术排名中，JCU名列前500名-澳大利亚仅有另外15所大学跻身入此。JCU是名列前20名的世界热带大学中唯一的澳大利亚教育机构。在旅游研究方面（基于出版物信息），JCU位居世界第一，同时拥有四位世界领先水平的旅游学者。没有哪所大学能获得如此多的殊荣。

詹姆斯库克大学新加坡国际校区，是JCU第一所海外校区，成立于2003年。学生在新加坡国际校区学习，保证获得与澳洲校区同样优质的教学质量及丰富的教育经历。

如何利用将来的机遇很大程度上由学生自己决定，但拥有JCU学位无疑可以为你的职业生涯带来明显的优势。我们的目标是让学生在如今全新的全球经济社会中，在从事自己的专业时，具备必要的知识以迎接对各种挑战。
