Why Study at University?
Gaining a University Degree will give you the best start for your professional career in a wide range of different industries. The great thing about studying at University is that you will have the opportunity to study in an area of your interest.
Life at University is more than just studying. There are sporting clubs and social groups that you can join that will give you the chance build new friendships that you will keep for life.
Opportunities are also available to incorporate internships and/or cadetships with your studies in your chosen field which will give you valuable experience before you graduate.

The Ngunnawal Indigenous Higher Education Centre
Located on campus is the Ngunnawal Indigenous Higher Education Centre, a support centre for all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander students. The Centre provides staff and students with a space to relax and learn in a comfortable environment. The Centre feels like a “home away from home” especially for students moving from interstate. Students regularly hold social events such as BBQ’s, ten pin bowling and trivia nights.
The Centre also provides tutorial support through the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) and has the facilities to help you successfully complete your studies including a Meeting Room and Computer Lab.
For those who don't gain direct entry or feel that they are not yet ready for university study, the University also offers Advancement Programs to assist. This includes the Foundation Program, which is delivered by the Ngunnawal Centre and provides academic and pastoral support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
