Progress with ACU
If you’re ready to take that next step, we’re ready to get you there. Learn about the application process, fees and financial support, student services, study options and more.
After you’ve found the course you want to study on our course browser, you’ll see whether you apply directly to ACU or need to apply via a Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC, UAC or QTAC). We recommend applying as early as possible – this secures your spot and helps avoid higher application fees.
ACU admission pathways are designed to help you meet the entry requirements of your chosen course. Use our Pathway Finder to discover the best pathway for you.
Your fees will depend on which course you choose. All undergraduate courses for domestic students are funded by Commonwealth supported places (CSP) – which means the Australian Government subsidises your course fees and you pay the remainder.
If you’re a domestic student enrolled in a nursing, midwifery, teaching or social work degree, you may be eligible for the CPP while you complete your mandatory placements.
We’ve thoughtfully designed your first year at ACU specifically to ensure a smooth transition into your studies – supporting your success and wellbeing.
Veterans and ADF-connected students are supported across the whole ACU journey, from application and enrolment to study support, resources and access to tailored events.
We rank first or equal first in ten fields of research including human movement and sports science, nursing, nutrition and dietetics, public health and health services, religion and religious studies, and specialist studies in education.
