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.
Mt Helen Campus (Ballarat)
Located 10 kilometres from the city centre of Ballarat, the campus is set on 110 hectares of natural bushland which attracts colourful bird species as well as resident kangaroos and koalas. The traditional custodians for this area are the Wadawurrung peoples. You will find an impressive selection of sporting and leisure facilities including an indoor swimming pool/aquatic centre, indoor and outdoor tennis courts, an all-weather athletics track, two gymnasiums, a weight training studio, heat chamber, squash courts, a canoeing lake, several sports fields and picturesque walking tracks.
The campus boasts up-to-date teaching and research facilities, library, studios and lecture theatres and a children’s centre. Study can be undertaken in up to 50 specialised areas throughout our faculties.
The Mt Helen Campus is also home to the Ballarat Technology Park, with major employers such as IBM and the State Revenue Office among its tenants.
