USC Moreton Bay will open early next year offering almost 50 jobs-focussed undergraduate programs. This full-scale teaching and research university will be the first full-service university campus ever built in Moreton Bay – one of Australia’s fastest growing regions.

USC will introduce four new programs when it opens in 2020: Digital Futures (Bachelor of Business), Computer Science, and two engineering programs – Mechatronics and Electrical and Electronic.

With 90 percent of current students from the region travelling, on average, three hours a day to attend university, USC Moreton Bay represents new opportunities for the community with easy access to a quality university education right on their doorstep.

USC Moreton Bay’s 16,000 square metre foundation facility is the first stage of development within the university precinct – the anchor of Moreton Bay Regional Council’s much larger Mill at Moreton Bay development.

$10 million worth of state-of-the-art technology will be included in the foundation building including specialist areas such as nursing simulation labs, five engineering labs including a thermo-dynamic lab, and a large ‘SuperLab’ for chemical science experiments.

The foundation building is located next to a bus interchange and the Petrie train station. It has been designed to include the largest end-of-trip facilities of any USC campus, so more people can walk, run, or ride to the university precinct.

USC Vice-Chancellor Professor Greg Hill says, “The University has ambitious plans to help the region connect, expand and improve educational opportunities.”
