About Australian Catholic University (ACU)

Australian Catholic University (ACU) has seven campuses around Australia. It empowers students to think critically, ethically, and to bring about change in their communities and professions.

We value you
As a publicly-funded university, ACU welcomes staff and students of all beliefs and backgrounds. It is committed to providing equal access to education for all people.

Practical experience
Students undertake professional placements and volunteer work throughout their studies, with many securing excellent jobs before they graduate. Community engagement is also a core part of every student's experience at ACU, to the point where it's embedded within ACU's courses. This allows students to give back to their communities and make a difference through opportunities such as volunteer experience programs.

Applying for postgraduate study

The majority of ACU's postgraduate coursework programs require a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent qualification from an approved institution for admission. However, some postgraduate programs accept applicants who have completed an adequate level of professional experience in a related field.

Entry requirements are different for each course, including Higher Degrees by Research (HDR).
