What we do

The Sustainability Hub is led by Professor Jan Evans-Freeman, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Sustainability, who has responsibility for organising and coordinating activities to drive five key sustainability objectives outlined in UC's Strategic Vision 2020 to 2030.

UC has a 5-Star QS ranking for internationally-renowned teaching. We specialise in research-led teaching and have several outstanding academics, many of whom are leaders in their field. We also have a wealth of cutting-edge research facilities to support our proud history of academic excellence. 

UC supports creative, innovative research that benefits local and global communities.

UC values its relationships with the community – locally and nationwide. We are proud to sponsor a range of community-focused initiatives, including our key partnerships with the Student Volunteer Army, the Crusaders, and the Young New Zealander of the Year Award - Te Mātātahi o te Tau.

Established as a publications committee in 1964, Canterbury University Press (CUP) has operated as a full-time publisher since 1991, producing about six new titles each year.
