Welcome

to ACU

(Left to right) Ballarat Campus, Blacktown Campus, Brisbane Campus, Canberra Campus, Melbourne Campus, North Sydney Campus, Strathfield Campus, Rome Campus.

At ACU, we’re a university unlike any other. Large enough to make our mark

on the world, but small enough that you’ll feel part of the ACU family.

At ACU, you will join an inclusive university that cares about

your experience and respects where you have come from.

We are a Catholic institution, but we value all faiths and the

contribution each of our students can make to the world

around them.

Our courses will equip you to make today’s ambitions

tomorrow’s reality. All you need to do is bring your curiosity,

past experiences, and your desire to make an impact. We’ll

supply the strong industry ties, a focus on practical learning,

and a supportive, inclusive learning environment.

When you choose ACU, you’ll be choosing more than just a

university qualification from an overseas university. You’ll be

choosing a place to call home.
