Our students enjoy the benefits of small, safe, friendly campuses and small class sizes, and have direct access to highly qualified lecturers and quality student support services.

Today we host more than 18,000 students, with 3,000 of these students coming from 72 different countries, and are renowned for the supportive environment we provide. ACU National can provide you with an education so you not only qualify for your dream career, but you qualify for life.
