Courses designed through industry collaboration

We’re Victoria’s #1 university for employability skills (Good Universities Guide).

That’s because we have a 152-year history of partnering with the community and industry to ensure we’re educating and training graduates for the jobs and skills needed for the future of work in booming regional areas.

We work hard so that work finds you

Given how closely we work with industry and community it’s no wonder our grads get jobs.

Federation has embarked on a journey to become the first Australian university to embed the globally recognised cooperative education model in all our courses. This means our students will have the opportunity to work with employers and build their work experience and resume, so they can go straight from their studies into their first job or their new career.

Support that never stops

Starting uni is a huge transition, but luckily for those attending Federation, we are ranked #1 in Victoria (*2022 Good Universities Guide) for how we support undergraduate students through their learning journey.

So you couldn’t be in more supportive hands throughout the transition from school to uni, or juggling study, work and play.

We have a range of student-focused courses, social activities, and services available that will help undergraduates and those returning to study feel supported throughout your time at Federation.

Check out our campuses in Ballarat, Berwick (Melbourne), Gippsland, and Horsham.
