Change the world through tourism and hospitality at JCU 🌍

From observing marine life aboard glass-bottom boats and underwater observatories to exploring sustainable destination governance in practice, JCU helps students build the necessary industry knowledge needed for careers in tourism and hospitality.

"JCU Tourism is recognised as world leaders in tourism sustainability, visitor experience, and using tourism as a tool for regional and community development. You can gain professional skills in tourism and hospitality at the same time as you learn how to change the world to be a better place." - Professor Gianna Moscardo, JCU Lecturer (Tourism, Hospitality and Events)

🔬 National Science Week is a reminder of the value of curiosity, evidence and discovery.

Research is rarely a solo endeavour. It relies on collaboration between researchers, students, industry, government, communities and the many professional staff who support research behind the scenes.

This week is an opportunity to recognise those contributions, and to reflect on the role research plays in turning curiosity and discovery into real-world outcomes.

Explore stories of discovery, collaboration and impact from across the university in JCU's 2026 Research Brochure.

🌏 Collaboration across borders is helping shape the future of sport and exercise science.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) and the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) strengthens international collaboration across the profession.

As Foundational Full Members of the International Confederation of Sport and Exercise Science Practice (ICSESP), both organisations are committed to advancing knowledge exchange, professional development and global cooperation.

For JCU students and graduates, this means stronger connections to an internationally recognised profession, expanded opportunities to engage with leading experts and professional networks, and greater access to global learning opportunities throughout their careers.

Together, these collaborations help strengthen the future of exercise and sport science, benefiting students, professionals and the communities they serve.
