Australian Catholic University (ACU) is one of the fastest growing universities in Australia with total preferences increasing by 32% in 2009. ACU is a public university and is open to students from all beliefs and backgrounds. Approximately 20,000 students are enrolled across ACU’s six campuses in Brisbane, North Sydney, Strathfield, Melbourne, Ballarat and Canberra.
Open Day at the Canberra Campus (Signadou) is your chance to experience the friendly atmosphere, speak to staff about your study opportunities and discover the quality facilities and teaching areas. The Campus is recognised for its excellence in undergraduate and postgraduate study in education, nursing, social work and theology.
Course information sessions will be held during the day (session times below) and guided tours of the campus will be led by current students. Advice on enrolment and university life will also be available throughout the day.
ACU graduates rate their educational experience highly with one of the best rates of employment in Australia. The university prides itself on its teaching and on the quality of the interaction between staff and students. Many of our courses involve practical components in which students demonstrate their skills and knowledge in real-life settings.
Students at ACU's Canberra Campus are treated as individuals. Thanks to small class sizes, easy access to teaching staff, outstanding support services, and a friendly atmosphere, our students feel encouraged to achieve their full potential and to become active members of society.
ACU’s Early Achievers program is continuing to grow with up to 50% of places in each course open to students who demonstrate significant involvement in their local, school or sporting community. For more information visit www.acu.edu.au/earlyachievers.
