Federation TAFE
Federation University started as The School of Mines in Ballarat in 1870. Since then, we’ve grown and changed, merged with other institutions, established local and global partnerships, and produced over 123,000 graduates. Our predecessors include the Ballarat School of Mines, Ballarat Teachers' College, State College of Victoria, Ballarat Institute of Advanced Education, Ballarat College of Advanced Education, Ballarat University College, Wimmera Institute of TAFE, Monash University Gippsland Campus, Gippsland Institute of Advanced Education and the University of Ballarat. Today, Federation is regional Victoria’s largest education institution, with campuses in Ballarat, Berwick, Gippsland and the Wimmera. We’re dual sector, which means we offer both higher education and TAFE courses. What sets us apart from other universities? Our dedication to diversity and inclusion, equitable entry, industry connection and student support.
