Rigorous Intellectual Scholarship and Ethics
ACU is dedicated to rigorous intellectual scholarship and the individual's pursuit of truth and academic freedom. Its ethos is derived from Christian values and the Catholic intellectual tradition, and our core concern is with ethics in all fields of endeavour. In all its courses the University empowers students with a strong sense of social responsibility and concern for the moral and ethical dimensions of their study and their professional and personal lives.
Highly Employable Graduates
ACU’s graduates are high achievers and enjoy one of the best rates of employment in Australia (Source: Graduate Careers Council of Australia). Many find jobs using their professional skills before they have graduated.
how the ACU & cefa partnership works for cefa students
ACU's commitment to helping greater numbers of rural youth achieve their tertiary goals is demonstrated by their Education Partnership with CEFA.
To support those rural students who receive grants from their local Education Foundations, ACU provides additional financial assistance to full-time undergraduate students. This assistance is in the form of $200 textbook vouchers to each CEFA grant-recipient. It is not limited to first-year students but available to all students who received grants from their local Education Foundations that year.
ACU assistance for all rural students
ACU students are able to access a variety of scholarships and grants. These are not limited to CEFA students alone - all students are welcome to apply according to the selection criteria.
