Not all learning happens in a classroom

Skills employers want: Your ACU qualification shows employers that you have valuable real-world experience thanks to placements, community engagement and study abroad experience.

See the world anew: Throughout your course you’ll study three Core Curriculum units, teaching you to look at the world with empathy, challenge stereotypes and have the courage to make an impact. “The Core” sets ACU apart. 

Make an impact: Put your new skills to work, for good. Our community engagement program adds a greater purpose to your education and asks you to harness your learning for the benefit of those around you.

Student life

It’s the time you spend outside of the classroom that helps make your university experience. Our campuses offer services designed to help you succeed, and a range of recreational pursuits so you can unwind when it’s time for a study break. 

We celebrate your success: Don’t get lost in the crowd. At ACU, you’ll be able to develop rich, rewarding partnerships with the people guiding your learning. And we’ll work hard to ensure that, when you graduate, you’re ready for your next step. 

Experience uni before you start: Transition smoothly into student life by getting a taste of ACU ahead of time. Come to Open Day, register for an information session, or sign up for our university experience day and attend workshops related to your chosen degree.

Kickstart your career: Boost your resume while you’re studying. We offer lots of opportunities to get career-ready through professional placements and community engagement. You can also apply for a well-paid, fulfilling job on campus.
