Our history
We’re the University of the Sunshine Coast, UniSC for short. We opened our doors on the Sunshine Coast in 1996 (feels like yesterday). Today, our award-winning facilities span five campuses across South East Queensland.
We’re a young, fresh university, driven by an unwavering belief that community and culture is just as important as a world-class education, given by world-class educators.
We’re not the biggest university. But we’re growing every day, and doing big things. Like ground-breaking research, championing sustainability, and producing gold-winning athletes and award-winning alumni.
We prefer thinking that moves everyone forward. And our students, staff and researchers work hard every day to do just that. You’re never going to be bombarded by stale traditions or hear phrases like “That’s the way we’ve always done it”.
