How the University of Canberra rose to be among the world’s best

The University of Canberra’s rapid rise in the world rankings is a reminder of the significant possibilities that can be realised by a young university.

Established as a university in 1990, the University of Canberra is deeply embedded in the economic, social and cultural profile of the ACT region.

While it is young as a university, it is swiftly developing a notable global reputation, rising to 18th in the world in the latest Times Higher Education Young University Rankings.

While research focusing on a cure for dementia is important, initiatives that improve the quality of life for those living with dementia now are just as crucial, says University of Canberra researcher Nathan D’Cunha.

Caitrin Dunn has always believed in the transformative powers of technology.

One of her earliest memories is of sitting on her father’s lap to watch TV … father and daughter enthralled by the time- and space-bending adventures of an erstwhile Time Lord.

During her time as the State Archaeologist for the NSW Heritage Council, Professor Tracy Ireland had little inkling that 20 years later, she would be leading a project focused on how aviation has transformed Australia.

Today, she is the Director of the University of Canberra’s Centre of Creative and Cultural Research, and her three-year Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage project, Heritage of the Air, 2018-2020, is a digital and community-focused project studying how communities value the heritage of Australian aviation.
