Mature age applicants

It may come as a surprise that almost half of our students are considered mature age, that is, they were 20 years of age or older when they enrolled.

We aim to produce career-ready graduates with a passion for life-long learning and a commitment to serving the needs of the broader community. Our courses have applied, practical subjects with a strong emphasis on industry links which means you get to work closely with companies in your chosen field, often securing employment before graduation.

Undergraduate study is a good choice if you've never been to university before or would like to change career direction and have little experience or knowledge of the area you wish to study.
