Partnership types

Our partnerships support the creation of new knowledge and the development of staff, students and the global community.

Student mobility

We encourage all our students to engage with international opportunities, from exchange and study abroad to language programs and study tours. We welcome students from our partner institutions to do the same at ACU. Students don’t need to be Catholic to study with us. Our mission and values are relevant to all, so whether they have a particular faith or none, they’re welcome here at ACU.

Research and teaching

Our research and teaching programs forge connections between people, faculties and research institutes across the world who share our values and expertise. From sports performance, business and information technology to psychology, health and education we seek to work with like-minded partners to deliver impact through excellence in collaboration. As a Catholic university, we also engage with our Catholic partners in the advancement of our shared mission.

Community engagement

At ACU, we’re committed to human dignity, the pursuit of knowledge and the common good. Our community engagement partnerships take our students out into the world to make a difference in whatever way they can. 

Professional development

Our global outlook extends to all staff, whether academic or professional. We offer staff exchange programs that connect our valued employees and those of our partners with vibrant growth opportunities across the globe. Some of these include collaboration with partners from international peak bodies such as ASEACCU, ICUSTA, SACRU, and IFCU.
