An international University as reflected in our people, our places, and our research, James Cook University takes pride in being recognised as a leading tertiary university in Australia, our Asia-Pacific region and the universities of the world and is committed to creating a brighter future for life in the tropics world-wide through our graduates and discoveries that make a difference.

With major campuses in Townsville, Cairns, Brisbane and Singapore, JCU offers a comprehensive learning and teaching, research/scholarship, leadership and service, and engagement framework, with focused attention on embedding sustainability and diversity in everything we do.

As part of the Division of Tropical Environments and Societies (DTES), the College of Business, Law and Governance was formed in 2014 to provide new opportunities and collaborations for both teaching and research. The College builds capacity across northern Australia and the tropical world by promoting, fostering, supporting and administering quality teaching and research in three critical domains: Law, Business and Conflict Management & Resolution. The College is an esteemed member of local communities and a valuable partner to local industries, community groups and all levels of government.
