JCU-CSC PhD Scholarships

China Scholarship Council Scholarships to James Cook

University Australia

James Cook University is Australia's leading tropical research university. It takes its

name from the eighteenth century British navigator and explorer Captain James Cook,

whose epic voyages contributed significantly to the world of science. The University was

proclaimed in Townsville on 20 April 1970, two hundred years after Cook charted the

eastern seaboard of Australia.

 

JCU is a multi-campus university with the main sites located in the vibrant tropical

Queensland cities of Townsville and Cairns. Offshore facilities and partnerships continue

to grow and in 2004, JCU signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the China

Scholarship Council to jointly underwrite PhD scholarships for Chinese students to

undertake PhDs at JCU. In addition, in some circumstances the scholarships can be used

to undertake a PhD jointly at JCU and a Chinese University under a conjoint degree

arrangement between JCU and the relevant Chinese University.

 

JCU offers courses in a broad range of study areas and has a strong research focus,

particularly in matters relating to life in the tropics.

 

JCU's main sites are located in tropical northern Queensland, a remarkable region where

over a million visitors come each year to experience two World Heritage listed natural

wonders: the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforests of the Wet Tropics. The region is also

the gateway to the scenic Atherton Tablelands, Cape York and the historic Queensland

outback.
