Australian Catholic University

You don’t need to be Catholic to study with us. Across our university, staff and students of all faiths – or none – work within the framework of respect for our mission and tradition, and commit to the pursuit of knowledge, the dignity of the human person, and the common good. As a Catholic university, ACU’s mission sits within the Catholic intellectual tradition. This tradition encourages scholars and students to explore and challenge ideas based on Catholic principles and values such as truth, honesty, integrity, peace, love and faith. To understand what sets us apart, read through the key elements that make up our identity.
