Our environment
The Albany Centre provides a personalised, friendly and supportive environment where students are known to each other and to staff. This individualised approach helps school-leavers and mature-age students alike adjust to the challenges of university studies. Small student numbers provide opportunities for students to take on a range of leadership roles in the academic and social life of the Centre.
Located in Albany's historic Old Post Office building, the Centre is just a short walk from the town centre and close to cafes and shops. The heritage building has been extensively refitted to provide excellent facilities for classes, laboratories, group and private study and after-class socialising.
All students have 24-hour access to modern, well-equipped computer laboratories.
