Why Uni?

Going to uni will open doors to opportunities that you didn't even know existed. Achieving a bachelor degree is the end result of your undergraduate studies and is the first step in building your successful career.

We shape career-ready graduates whose median starting salaries are consistently higher than the national average.

Our graduates are in high demand with nearly three-quarters securing a full-time job within four months of graduating (Australian Graduate Survey 2011).

For most degrees you have the option to choose your major(s), meaning you can specialise in an area that interest you. For example, if you study a Bachelor of Commerce, you can choose to major in accounting, finance or economics.

Your degree will take three, four or five years of full-time study, which means you build a wealth of knowledge and experience in your field.

Why leave it there? You may choose to undertake a combined degree and achieve two qualifications in one go in less time than it would take to complete them separately. Completing an honours degree is another option - hone your research skills by completing a thesis.

Many of our degrees are recognised internationally - which means you could live and work overseas.

But there is no need to wait until you graduate to explore the world. Our International Student Exchange Program gives you the opportunity to study overseas, with that period of study credited to your degree.
