FOREWORD FROM THE CHANCELLOR

As you will see from this report, the University of Canberra continues to grow and prosper. It has never been in better shape than it is right now. The preceding years of hard work and the excellent performance of the University in 2011 put us in a strong position to take advantage of the exciting challenges and opportunities that are presenting themselves at this time of change in higher education. 2011 was my fi rst year as Chancellor so I am particularly proud to introduce the annual report for the year and to invite you to read about some of the signifi cant progress we’re making in research, education and in our engagement with the community. The Vice-Chancellor, as endorsed by Council, has set ambitious, measurable goals for the University’s performance and 2011 was the year we began to really see results. The University’s goal to be ranked among the top third of universities on standard education measures has been largely achieved two years ahead of schedule. We are now ranked seventh in Australia for good teaching and for graduates going on to further study and we rank sixth in the country for the employability of our graduates. In research, the aim is be ranked in the top half of Australian universities and we are on track to achieve this. It is particularly pleasing to see the Excellence for Research Australia exercise already ranks our work in environmental science as being among the best in the world.

EDUCATION

FROM THE DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLOR (EDUCATION) The University of Canberra achieved its goal of 9000 EFTSL* in advance of 2013. Student load increased to 10,972 EFTSL* in 2011 (Table 11), an 11 percent increase on the previous year and a 46 percent increase since 2008. The University has surpassed this goal two years earlier than our Strategic Plan outlined. The University also moved into the top third of all Australian universities on standard educational measures, two years ahead of the anticipated timeline. Employability of Graduates stands at 84 percent according to the 2010 Australian Graduate Survey, also putting the University in the top third of Australian universities for this measure. As well as being in demand with employers, the University’s graduates are among Australia’s highest paid, with a four-star rating for graduate starting salaries. The 2012 Good Universities Guide has awarded the University fi ve stars for Success in Getting a Job, fi ve stars for Positive Graduate Outcomes and four stars for Good Teaching.

RESEARCH

FROM THE DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLOR (RESEARCH) Another year of strong growth in the development of our research programs and capability was realised, with the University signifi cantly increasing the value of its research income. In 2011 new research contracts were signed to a value of $21.2 million, almost three times the $7.2 m value of contracts signed during 2010. It means the University is on course to achieving its goal of becoming a world-ranked research university. A total of 111 new research contracts were signed in 2011 compared to 94 in 2010. We are winning more grants, but what is more signifi cant is the increase in the value of the grants and contracts we’re receiving.

RUDD GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT Edited by CHRIS AULICH & MARK EVANS This edited collection examines Commonwealth administration under the leadership Prime Minister Kevin Rudd from 2007-2010.

This was a remarkable period in Australian history: Rudd’s government was elected in 2007 with an ambitious program for change. However, as the chapters in this book demonstrate, these ambitions were thwarted by a range of factors, not the least being Rudd’s failure to press ahead when he confronted ‘road blocks’ such the ETS or managing his massive agenda which constantly elevated issues to ‘first order priority’. Although he started his term with stratospheric approval ratings, only two years later his support had collapsed and on 24 July 2010 he became the first sitting Prime Minister to be removed by his own Party before the expiry of his first term. In this book, expert contributors consider the Rudd Government’s policy, institutional and political legacy. The 14 chapters are organised into four sections, outlining the Edited by Chris Aulich & Mark Evans issues and agendas that guided Rudd’s government, changes to the institutions of state such as the public service and parliament, followed by discussions of key issues and policies that marked Rudd’s term in office. The final section examines Rudd’s leadership and reflects on the personal foibles and political factors that brought his Prime Ministership undone.

The Rudd Government has been produced by the ANZSOG Institute for Governance at the University of Canberra. It is the tenth in a series of books on successive Commonwealth administrations.

THE FACULTY OF INFORMATION SCIENCES & ENGINEERING The Faculty also had a record grant success, winning two Australian Research Council (ARC) grants in 2011. We established new targeted research clusters and summer research scholarships for students and staff which has led to more research publications, grants and a higher profi le for the Faculty of Information Sciences and Engineering. We again won the prestigious Microsoft Imagine Cup competition for innovation in software design – making it six wins out of seven competitions we have entered for the national championship. Our winning team represented Australia at the international fi nals in New York.

CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY FROM THE REGISTRAR There is the buzz of things happening around the campus and 2011 has been a big year for capital works on campus including the refurbishment of common areas, teaching facilities and building new high-quality student accommodation. For example, there has been a signifi cant facelift to the Concourse and Student Centre. The University purchased the Wing 5 Cameron Building to convert into student accommodation which complemented the decision of the ACT Government to transfer the long-term lease of Arscott House to the University. We signed a lease agreement with Zierholz which meant a full refurbish of the UC pub, and we opened Café Globo for the benefi t of our student residents. The Inspire Centre building was completed to schedule and we purchased the Scrivener Building and relocated approximately 200 staff in the middle of the year. There is a huge amount happening in terms of the University’s outreach activities in the local community and to those communities further afi eld.

INTERNATIONAL While 2011 saw signifi cant decreases in international students entering Australia to study at tertiary institutions and some universities reported large falls in international student numbers, at the University of Canberra where international student numbers continue to grow. In 2011 international students comprised almost 17 percent of the student population. This highlights the increasing diversity of the international student body and in 2011 the University was 16th in the Australia sector in terms of the proportion of international students to domestic students. Study abroad and student exchange continued to grow with an increase from 3.5 percent in 2010 to 4.7 percent for 2011. Transnational education numbers also increased as new programs from the Faculty of Business and Government commenced offshore. The strong growth we are experiencing in transnational student numbers refl ects our commitment to ongoing engagement with international partners and the internationalisation of the University. The governance of international engagement was enhanced with a strategic focus brought to international partnerships along with a renewed focus upon equivalence of learning outcomes on and offshore, and ongoing excellent support for our international students on campus.
