High school students 

Knowing what you want to do after school can be hard. Choosing a career right now? It’s a lot. Instead, consider other aspects of uni – the location, the alternative entry options, the academic and financial help available. Federation is a regional university with a lot to offer.

Course preferencing  

Figuring out what order to put your courses in can be tricky. Decide on your priorities and do your research. Location, student support, work experience options – what are you looking for?

VTAC offers 

When you submit your course preference list to VTAC, they’ll work out what your highest-placed university offer is. First-round offers are released in late December (after ATARs are available). 

Alternative entry 

If you’ve got a uni course in mind but you don’t meet the entrance requirements, consider doing a pathway course. And if mainstream school isn't working out, VCE Vocational Major at Federation College might be a better fit.

Early Offer program

Apply for an Early Offer and you’ll be guaranteed a place at Federation (as long as you meet the course prerequisites). You’ll also get exclusive access to course advice, career counselling and industry partners.
