Campus Life

Our Melbourne campus is located on the western fringe of the city in Docklands.

The free city-circle tram stops at our front door, and there’s high-end shopping, cinemas and hotels just a short stroll away. On our modern city campus you’ll find everything you need including student support, career services, and of course student ambassadors who will welcome you and introduce you to the neighbourhood.

Please note if you are a domestic student, at this time, you are unable to commence your studies at our Melbourne campus and we would encourage you to explore the study opportunities at our Adelaide based campuses through Degree Finder or consider one of our online degrees.
