Mt Helen Campus
Mt Helen is set on 110 hectares of bushland but it’s only 10 kms from the centre of Ballarat. So you can listen to birdsong as you study then paint the town red in your downtime.
Set yourself up for success
Uni is a big step. It doesn't matter if you've come straight from school or had a big study gap – higher ed can feel like a new world. But you can get prepared (and boost your confidence) by attending our three pre-semester actitivies.
Online & self-paced
Work through our free online FedReady course before Orientation to learn about time management, doing assignments, critical thinking, referencing, computer systems and more.
