University of Ballarat
Tertiary education at Ballarat began in 1870, making it Australia's third oldest tertiary institution.
The university merged with Monash University's Gippsland (Churchill) campus in 2013, and the merged schools are now the Federation University Australia. The name change was made as the result of the passage of the amended University of Ballarat Act 2010 bill through the state's parliament.
Federation University Australia
On September 6, 2013, the Victorian Parliament passed legislation to establish Federation University Australia, comprising the University of Ballarat as well as the former Gippsland campus of Monash University. Its name no longer carries the name of Ballarat, because the intention is not to be limiting geographically. It also wanted to reflect its intention to continue offering education to domestic and international students. The name change went into effect on 1 January 2014.
New students commencing their studies at the Gippsland campus from 2014 will study under Federation University Australia. Current students at the campus will be able to complete their degree as a Monash University student. Students of the University of Ballarat that were enrolled at the time of the merger and name change were allowed to choose which name they graduate under when the legislation is passed.
Rankings
University of Ballarat achieved a maximum five-star rating for teaching quality in the Good Universities Guide consecutively from 2010-2014.
