First preferences to the University of Canberra through UAC have increased by 7.8 percent in 2017.
Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Deep Saini said he was pleased to see interest in studying at the University of Canberra among school-leavers has been particularly strong with first preference applications up 14 per cent against 2016.
“We are thrilled to see that the University’s demand is growing in a very competitive market, which is actually experiencing a decline across the board,” Professor Saini said.
“Our commitment to deliver a student-centred experience, our recent rise in the tertiary education world rankings and the hard work from our staff across the institution are all contributing factors to this growth.”
So far, more than 1,500 school-leavers have chosen to study at the University of Canberra, ahead of UAC’s main offer round on January 18.
