At Federation University, the desire to transform lives and enhance communities informs everything we do. From research that improves people’s lives right around the world, to supporting our students to succeed at their studies and in life – we make a difference.
With campuses in Ballarat, Berwick, Brisbane, Gippsland and the Wimmera, we became Federation University in 2014 – a new entity bringing together almost 150 years of history from our predecessor institutions.
As a young university, we have the energy and optimism of youth combined with the knowledge and experience that comes from our history as one of the oldest universities in Australia, dating back to 1870.
We are a diverse community with over 24,000 domestic and international students and 110,000 alumni across Australia and the world. We are creating a Federation of independent thinkers, of like-minded individuals who are determined to make their mark.
Both new and historic buildings have been cleverly integrated to create a dynamic and vibrant arts and cultural environment of international significance and a central precinct for the University’s visual and performing arts. The traditional custodians for this area are the Wadawurrung peoples.
The precinct has been developed with provision for:
Creative arts education and training programs across both TAFE and higher education
This unique inner-city campus incorporates 8,000 square metres of space for students and staff.
