Australian Catholic University: the applicant's brief

6 findings
  1. The short answer

    Australian Catholic University is a public higher education provider in Australia with campuses across seven Australian locations and one in Rome. It suits students who want a multi-campus Australian university with an international campus option and are checking a public university in a broad national system.

  2. What you can study

    Australian Catholic University is a higher education provider, but the programme catalogue is not published in the information available here. Confirm the subjects and degrees on the university website before applying.

  3. Getting in

    International applicants should apply through the universityโ€™s official admissions process and check the entry requirements, document list, and deadlines on the official site. If you are applying from abroad, confirm how your previous qualifications are assessed and whether any course-specific requirements apply.

  4. What it costs

    The university does not publish a fee for international students; confirm the current rate with its admissions office. Living costs in Australia will depend on the city and your housing choice, so budget separately for accommodation, transport, food, and study materials.

  5. Coming from abroad

    The language of instruction is not stated, so confirm it before you apply. If you are moving from abroad, check visa requirements, campus location, arrival timing, and whether the Rome campus is relevant to the course you want.

  6. How it compares

    With 59 universities in Australia, Australian Catholic University sits in a large national higher-education system. Its main distinguishing feature is its seven Australian campuses plus a campus in Rome, which may suit students who want flexibility over location rather than a single-city study option.
