What this episode’s about
If you’re considering Australian Catholic University (ACU), there are a few things worth knowing before you attend an ACU Open Day. In this episode, I look at what makes ACU different from other Melbourne universities and the types of students and courses it may suit.
I cover:
Do you have to be Catholic to study at ACU? No. You don't need to be Catholic to attend ACU, and you don't have to study religion as part of your course.
What is ACU's campus like? ACU has a smaller campus environment than many of the other major universities in Melbourne. I talk about what this could mean for your university experience and why campus size is something worth considering when choosing a university.
What is ACU known for? ACU has strong course offerings in areas including education and teaching, health, nursing, psychology and social work, as well as other social science and health-related disciplines.
What is ACU's connection to Rome? ACU has a campus in Rome, Italy, and I explain some of the opportunities this connection can provide for students.
Can you study at ACU without completing Year 12? I explain some of the alternative entry and pathway options available to students who haven't completed a traditional Year 12 qualification.
What should you look for at an ACU Open Day? I discuss the questions you can ask and the information you can gather to help you work out whether ACU and the course you're considering are a good fit for you.
If you're comparing ACU with other Melbourne universities, this episode will help you understand what ACU offers, what it is known for, its entry and pathway options, and some of the things that make the university different.
