Australian Catholic University (ACU) is a national public teaching and research university. It has seven campuses and offers programs in four faculties throughout Australia.[1] The university was formed on 1 January 1989 following the amalgamation of the Catholic College of Education in Sydney, the Institute of Catholic Education in Melbourne, McAuley College in Brisbane and Signadou College in Canberra.[2] As its name implies, the university has a Catholic identity, history, and mission.[3]

ACU has four faculties, each offering a range of courses:[4]

  • Education and Arts – including education, arts and humanities, global studies and international development studies, mathematics, media communications, social science, youth work, and creative arts, visual arts and design
