Our home in Canberra

The University of Canberra is a young, dynamic, professionally-oriented university with a clear public purpose serving the people and communities of Canberra and the surrounding regions – city to coast, alpine to tablelands.

Our location in Australia’s capital city, surrounded by dynamic areas of regional Australia, defines who we are and the unique offerings we take to the world. While our home is Canberra, our reach is global.

Our sporting success 

We are a leading sports institution and have strong ties with elite sporting teams. We proudly own WNBL team, the University of Canberra Capitals, and our women’s rugby sevens squad competes in the Uni 7s Series. We support W-League team Canberra United and the ACT Brumbies Super Rugby team call our campus home.
