The University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC; formerly abbreviated as USC until 2022)[10][11] is a public university based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. After opening with 524 students in 1996 as the Sunshine Coast University College, it was later renamed the University of the Sunshine Coast in 1999.
The university has a flagship campus at Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast, with more campuses at Hervey Bay on the Fraser Coast,[12] Gympie,[13] and Caboolture.[14] In 2020, USC opened a full-service campus at Petrie in Moreton Bay.[15][16]
Undergraduate and postgraduate (coursework and higher degree by research) programs are available, with study areas divided across five schools: business and creative industries; education and tertiary access; health; law and society; and science, technology and engineering.[17]
The university is listed on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.
In the 2020 Student Experience Survey, UniSC was ranked within the top five universities in Australia for teaching quality, and in the top six for the overall student experience.[18]
