Welcome to UCNISS, the University of Canberra's renowned institution located in the Australian Capital Territory. As an establishment and point of interest, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch education and fostering a vibrant community. Whether you're a local or an international student, UCNISS offers a diverse range of programs and opportunities to elevate your skills and influence in the Creative or Cultural sectors.

For those who have taken a work or travel break before starting university, UCNISS is the perfect place to continue your educational journey. Our new range of postgraduate qualifications in the Creative Industries will equip you with the necessary tools to thrive in these dynamic fields. Just like Taehee Kim, a Bachelor of Politics and International Relations student, who aspires to raise awareness about North Korean human rights on the world stage.

At UCNISS, we believe in empowering women in politics. Nicole McMahon, one of our students, has joined the University of Canberra's inaugural Pathways to Politics Program for Women, as she explores a potential career in politics. We encourage and support our students to pursue their passions and make a difference in the world.

Our dedication to promoting gender equality extends beyond the realms of politics. Annalise Hardiman, a University of Canberra student and BroadAgenda intern, sheds light on the realities of misogyny faced by women umpires. Through her writing, she challenges societal norms and advocates for a more inclusive and fair sporting environment.

We take pride in the achievements of our students and researchers. Senada Meskin, a PhD candidate from the Faculty of Arts and Design, emerged as the overall winner in a renowned competition, while Sara Chica Latorre, from the Faculty of Health, won both runner-up and the People's Choice Award. These accomplishments highlight the exceptional talent and dedication within our university community.

As a leading institution, UCNISS is honored to sponsor the 21st General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (GA2023) of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). This historic event marks the first time that the Pacific region hosts this prestigious heritage and culture gathering, showcasing the University of Canberra's commitment to promoting global collaboration and understanding.

In partnership with NetApp and the ACT Government, UCNISS has established a regional hub for open source innovation, education, and research. This hub serves as a platform for students, academics, and industry professionals to collaborate and drive innovation in various fields.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge the Ngunnawal people, the traditional custodians of the lands where our Bruce campus is situated. We deeply respect their ongoing culture and the invaluable contributions they make to the vibrant life of Canberra and the region. We also acknowledge and honor all other First Nations Peoples whose lands we gather on.

At UCNISS, we strive to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals can thrive academically, professionally, and personally. Join us in shaping a brighter future and achieving your goals at the University of Canberra.
