Our Graduate outcomes
ACU graduates are high achievers and enjoy one of the best rates of employment in Australia. Many of our graduates find jobs using their professional skills even before they have graduated.
We are Catholic
As a Catholic university, we lay claim to 2000 years of Catholic intellectual tradition and are connected through our activities to the great Catholic universities of the world. ACU maintains strong links with the Catholic education, health and social welfare sectors.
We provide an education beyond the textbook
ACU can provide you with an education so you not only qualify for your dream career, but you qualify for life. We are proud to teach, encourage and support students who want to make a difference in their own lives and in the lives of those around them, both personally and professionally.
A unique student experience
Life on our campuses is not just about study. Each campus has active student councils and clubs that organise social and sporting activities and events each semester. We provide student support services and Campus Ministry to help advance the spiritual dimensions of university life.
Community Engagement and a commitment to social justice and the common good
As a university committed to serving the common good, ACU encourages and supports the efforts of our students to engage with their communities in a positive way. Many of our degrees will even allow your community volunteer work to count toward your degree. Our commitment to social justice sets us apart.
Opportunities for Early Achievers

If you're a young leader, an active member of your community or have worked to make a difference to the lives of others, you can receive special entry in to ACU through the
Early Achievers' Program. The Early Achievers' application process means you can be recognised for your achievements and be guaranteed a place at University before main round offers come out.
We take the personal approach
Our highly qualified faculty staff are committed to helping you achieve your best and will always make time to see you. At ACU you really are a name not a number.
Learn from leaders in the field
We have leading academics and recognised research capabilities in a number of traditional, contemporary and emerging fields. (ACU rates five stars for staff qualifications,
Good Universities Guide 2008). We call some of the world's leading experts our own.
We're a national university with international ties
As a national university with six campuses across Australia, ACU provides students with a unique opportunity to engage in national events and have access to national resources. And with our
study abroad and student exchange programs, and over 40 partner institutions worldwide, you can travel the world as part of your course.

We're opening doors to higher education
As a university committed to equity and the dignity of the human person, we are striving to make it possible for more Australians to earn tertiary degrees. Our special access scheme,
accessACU, offers bonus entry points to applicants who fall within certain categories. Special support is also available to Indigenous students (ACU rates five stars for Indigenous participation,
Good Universities Guide 2009).
