University of Canberra - Study Finder

The University of Canberra campus is a haven of clean air, tall trees and native wildlife, including parrots, honey-eaters, cockatoos and a mob of resident kangaroos who live near the Student Residences, naturally enough.

We're situated in Bruce, a north-western suburb of Canberra, well-served by public transport and within easy reach of shopping and entertainment venues in Belconnen Town Centre or in "Civic", the Canberra commercial business district.

On campus, social life revolves around our coffee shops and food outlets, lounges and lawns, the activities of various clubs and societies, and events organised by UCU. For the athletically-inclined there's a well-equipped sports and fitness centre with squash, basketball and tennis courts. There's also a range of shops and banks conveniently located on campus.

We're not too far from Canberra's other attractions, the National Gallery of Australia, the National Library of Australia, the Museum of Australia, Parliament House and Lake Burley Griffin.

The university has produced over sixty thousand graduates since 1970. Many now occupy senior positions in the professions, the corporate world and the public service of Australia and several other countries. Others have become prominent writers, journalists, performers and sports men and women. We're proud of every one of them.

Your fellow students, some 11,000 of them, come from every state in Australia and many other countries. About 1500 of them live on campus. Others share a house off-campus or board with homestay families.
