U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

If social work is your calling, you’ll get the chance to empower people to better their lives, promote social change, and improve their relationships. Our goal is to empower you to empower others. With an emphasis on social justice and human rights and on achieving the best possible outcomes for the most marginalised, our courses equip you with the skills to make a real impact in the community. As a social work student, you’ll benefit from quality teaching in a supportive environment and graduate with a degree accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers.
