They say good things come in small packages, and that can certainly be said for our short courses. With an impressive range and manageable commitment, these short courses can have a profound impact on the lives of those who take the time.

At Federation University, we understand ambition – we also understand that things don’t always go as planned. Our short courses are designed to address areas of the workforce with skills shortages while providing a convenient, affordable and accessible way to do so.

Students will receive formal recognition on completion of a Federation University short course and will be eligible for credit if they wish to pursue study in a relevant degree program.

Whether it be in a new career, upskilling, following your passion or getting a taste of University life, develop the skills you need to thrive in 2021.
