Congratulations to the University of Canberra on being named as the fastest rising university in the world, ranking 18th in young universities rankings by Times Higher Education. UC's meteoric rise over several years in global rankings is a testament to its dedicated faculty and staff.
This incredible rise has also seen UC cement itself at one of Australia's top 10 universities - an incredible achievement for an institution so young.
Today's accolade confirms what many Canberrans already know about UC. It is a cornerstone of Canberra and its graduates contribute significantly to our community's education, growth and wellbeing.
To rise so quickly through the rankings is an affirmation of the quality of research and learning experience at UC.
I hope that young people from Australia, and around the world, will see and appreciate the doors a degree from UC can open up for them.
UC's achievement is further solidifies Canberra's position as Australia's knowledge capital.
