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.

A UC scholarship or bursary can ease the financial pressures of studying, helping you get the most from your university experience. Our scholarships can assist you with living costs, textbooks, accommodation, relocation or contribute towards your fees.

You can apply for them as soon as you accept your offer to study. Simply submit one scholarship application and you’ll automatically be considered for all those you’re eligible for.
