Federation University Australia – Ballarat

The warm welcome that we received after arriving to the campus was beyond our expectations. The staffs here were excited seeing first international students arrival after 2 year's of their border closure. Everyone here are so friendly and humble. Looking forward to enjoy our coming days.

Very easy to get there, there could be more disability parking closer. The Cafe had great sandwiches and most important great coffee.

Very nice uni has lots of facilities, a good bunch of people as well

Busy with school kids having fun on the inflatable. Staff where friendly and professional having fun too 🏊‍♂️ supervising and coaching. Lovely place to exercise with a lovely bush setting.

Lecturers were of a high quality and online teaching was really well conducted for the BAM. However, the disability support services and administration were shockingly unprofessional. The disability support service representative was probably the most unprofessional encounter I’ve had in my adult life. 6 months to partially fill a disability support plan despite having a template from another university and pretty simple instructions outlined by medical professionals. Complaints process not easy to access and delt with inhouse rather than separate body. It was a disservice having disability services and I decided to scrap the process and never applied nor contacted disability services again. No other university has had an issue with this, as they say, rotten from the top, in great need of culture change. I was hoping that the university’s recent furlough process during the pandemic would remove some of these toxic staff, but it seems as though (somehow) they have remained.
