A very beautiful university to study. It has got lots of cool stuff, and some pretty environment.

The JCU medical interview selection process lacks transparency. The Dean of Medicine, Professor Richard Murray, is the head of the selection process and is responsible for its lack of transparency, consistency, and fairness. This lack of transparency results in an inconsistent and unfair process for applicants. I even reached out to him directly, but he didn’t reply and instead hid behind his team. Applicants desperately need a transparent and fair selection process.

Studying at James Cook University has been an incredible experience. The support from lecturers and resources like Big Interview have helped me grow both academically and professionally. The vibrant Townsville campus provides a welcoming community, modern facilities, and a great learning atmosphere. JCU’s focus on practical skills and career development has been invaluable for my goals in hospitality and business. Highly recommended!

What an exciting place to study. The state of the art library coupled with beautiful green surroundings where I can enjoy nature listen to the birds sing is such a memorable experience for me. Everyone from lecturers, staff and students are so helpful. I love the setup of study spaces and lecture rooms and the fact that at most help desks some fruits and snacks aee set up for the students. The careers, student succeess and well being teams are quit helpful. Looking back this was the best choice for me to achieve my masters.
