Federation University of Australia
Federation University of Australia
In 1870, Federation University was founded in Ballarat as The School of Mines. Since then, we have developed and evolved, joined forces with other organizations, formed regional and international alliances, and graduated more than 123,000 people.
The following institutions preceded us: Ballarat University College, Wimmera Institute of TAFE, Ballarat School of Mines, Ballarat Teachers' College, State College of Victoria, Ballarat Institute of Advanced Education, Ballarat College of Advanced Education, Ballarat University College, Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education, and the University of Ballarat.
Today, Federation, which has campuses in Ballarat, Berwick, Gippsland, and the Wimmera, is the biggest educational institution in the region of Victoria. Since we serve both the TAFE and higher education sectors, we are dual sector.
