The University of Ballarat is proud to combine research and teaching that contributes to the economic, social and environmental sustainability of our region. Importantly, our teaching is informed by research. UB has moved, in a comparatively short time, to being research active – a credit to our staff, students and UB leaders.

At UB we’re committed to keeping research at the heart of our University. You are welcome to download our current Research Plan (PDF,176 KB).
