About

concentrate on the future building on the more than 150 years of education.

At Federation University, our work is driven by the ambition to impact lives and strengthen communities.

We make a difference through research that enhances the lives of people all around the world and by encouraging our students to thrive in both their academic and personal endeavours.

In 2014, we changed our name to Federation University, a new organisation that combined our predecessor schools' nearly 150 years of history going back to 1870.

Despite being among the oldest universities in Australia, we are renowned for our future-oriented approach to teaching and learning in both higher education and TAFE.

To guarantee that every student has access to a top-notch education and exciting employment prospects, our campuses in Ballarat, Berwick, Brisbane, Gippsland, and the Wimmera are deeply ingrained in our local communities and industries.

Over 18,500 domestic and international students, as well as 118,000 alumni from all over Australia and the world, make up our unique community.

We are a thriving, accepting, and supportive community of people from many countries and origins who are building a Federation of independent thinkers who are determined to leave their mark.
