James Cook University (JCU) is setting the stage for a Virtual University Pathways Discovery Week from January 8th to 14th, 2024.
Basically, an online open house.
This week-long event aims to provide prospective students with an immersive experience, offering comprehensive insights into JCU's diverse academic programmes and the opportunities they can unlock for local students.
Since 2003, JCU has slowly built their reputation as a trusted private education provider, having bagged both the Singapore Quality Class Star and EduTrust Certification in recent years.
Plus, they've earned a spot in the top 2% of the 2023 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
Did we mention they're also the #1 ranked university in Australia for Sustainable Education?
Yep, they're kind of a big deal.
Each day of the Discovery Week hosts a different seminar from different faculties.
