Education Focus - Australian Catholic University

Answered by: Belinda Mitchell  

What kind of courses do you offer? ACU offers a broad range of courses such as arts, visual and creative arts, digital media, teaching and much more. We have state-of-the-art facilities including working art studios and galleries, sound and video production studios, and multimedia facilities.

Do you offer practical on-site learning or more of a theoretical base? Students undertake professional placements, internships and volunteer work throughout their studies with many securing excellent jobs before they graduate.

What makes you different to other educational institutions? At ACU you get more than just a degree. You'll gain the knowledge, skills and experience to succeed and develop your capacity to think critically, act compassionately and live generously.

What kind of social activities do you offer? ACU is a great place to meet people and have new experiences. Each campus student association hosts events such as barbecues, balls and concerts. There are also clubs, societies and sporting events such as ACU Games and University Games.

Do you offer job opportunities, internships, or other ways to help students get ahead? ACU students can attend an overseas university in more than 16 countries, complete international internships, do study tours and work in community programs around the world - all while receiving credit towards their degree.
