The University of Southern Queensland Sydney Education Centre is committed to excellence in teaching and learning. This commitment is supported by quality student administration services and assistance. The Centre, in association with Canterbury Institute of Technology, facilitates a number of USQ undergraduate and postgraduate programs at its facilities. These programs are in high demand in both the domestic and international employment markets.
