Welcome to the College of Arts, Society and Education.
The College builds capacity in the tropics by providing coursework that can develop knowledge and skills in Humanities, Arts and Creative Media, Social Sciences, Social Work and Education. We also facilitate the expansion of knowledge of people and societies in the Tropics through research at Masters and PhD levels. In addition to Bachelor degrees, Humanities and Creative Arts offers short language courses through the JCU Academy of Modern Languages at the Townsville and Cairns campuses.
We look forward to hearing from you and wish you well on the journey you are about to begin.
Regards,
