LEARN MOREAbout the Australian Catholic University, Sydney
Founded in 1991, the Australian Catholic University (ACU) has grown quickly into one of the country’s leading Catholic institutions, now welcoming close to 35,000 students across its seven campuses nationwide. In Sydney, ACU operates from two distinct locations: the North Sydney campus, set in the heart of the city’s thriving business district, and the Strathfield campus, based at the historic Mount Saint Mary site in one of Sydney’s oldest suburbs. Wherever students study, ACU holds firm to its founding values of truth, academic excellence and service, shaping graduates who leave with more than a qualification. The university’s commitment to social justice and community engagement runs through everything from its teaching to its research, and its open, inclusive culture welcomes students of every faith and background.
The facilities
Students at ACU Sydney study across four core faculties: Education and Arts, Health Sciences, Law and Business, and Theology and Philosophy. The North Sydney campus places students close to the CBD, the harbour and excellent public transport, with modern teaching spaces and a strong focus on student wellbeing, including on-campus counselling and fitness facilities. The Strathfield campus offers a quieter, greener setting, with landscaped grounds, a synthetic sports pitch, an art gallery and easy access to Bicentennial Park and the Olympic Park Aquatic Centre. Across both campuses, students benefit from a genuine sense of community, supported by student associations, regular social events and academic support services designed to help every student settle in and succeed.
