Flexible study 

Fitting study into your life might seem impossible. But at Federation, there are always options. Full time too much? You might be able to drop a unit. On campus not working for you? Check to see if your course is offered online.

It’s okay to ask for help. We encourage it, in fact. And we know that support needs to be holistic, so we have a huge range of free academic, financial and wellbeing services.

Our close links with major industry players mean you’ll learn relevant work skills and get real-world experience. Plus, you’ll graduate with one foot in the door.  

Financial assistance

Going to uni might not be as expensive as you think. There are scholarships, for a start. And government funding. Free TAFE options. Paid placements. HELP loans.

Take the scenic route

If you don't meet the entry requirements for your preferred course, we can help you find another way to reach your career goal.
