Non-school leaver

Whether you’re beginning your university journey for the first time or returning after a long break, we know you’ll be looking for a course that lets you balance your studies with your work, life and family commitments.

At UC, over half our students have returned to study after some time away, so we know how important flexibility, great student services and a supportive network are to you.

Our proven practical approach to learning, strong ties to industry and innovative Work Integrated Learning programs will get you where you want to go.

As the ACT’s number one university for graduate employment,* there’s no better place than UC to start your life-changing university journey.

Understanding the costs of studying a degree is an important part of getting prepared for university. There are lots of outlays to consider, but it doesn’t mean that university is unaffordable.

As a domestic student, you’re eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place in all undergraduate and some postgraduate courses. You may also be eligible for a government HELP loan, which allows you to defer your remaining course fees and pay later through the income tax system. 

Beyond your lectures, tutorials, labs and library time, there are plenty of hours left in the day to experience a full and fun social life at UC. With an active and lively atmosphere on campus, there’s always something to do. Join one of our clubs or societies, meet friends on campus for events, gigs or market days, or get involved in sport, art, music, languages and so much more.

Join one of our regular campus tours to check out the learning spaces and facilities at our Bruce campus and hear about the services available to students.
