Australian Catholic University (ACU)

Australian catholic University (ACU) is a public university in Australia. It has seven Australian campuses and also maintains a campus in Rome. ACU was opened on 1 January 1991 following the amalgamation of four Catholic tertiary institutions in eastern Australia: Catholic College of Education Sydney (NSW), Institute of Catholic Education (VIC), McAuley College (QLD), Signadou College of Education (ACT). These institutions had their origins in the mid-1800s, when religious orders and institutes became involved in preparing teachers for Catholic schools and, later, nurses for Catholic hospitals. Through a series of amalgamations, relocations, transfers of responsibilities and diocesan initiatives, more than 20 historical entities have contributed to the creation of the university. Top 10 Catholic universities worldwide, Top 26 globally for exercise science, top 50 for nursing, and top 75 for education, 94% of our research is considered equal to or above world standard, Top 2 in Australia for overall undergraduate employment.
