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.
