We’re thrilled to announce that St Helens has been chosen as a site for one of the 10 new Regional University Study Hubs. The hub will become part of a network of 56 study hubs located across the country.

Regional University Study Hubs (formerly known as Regional University Centres) support students in rural, regional and remote Australia to access, participate and succeed in tertiary education without having to leave their communities. 

Regional study hubs provide physical, campus-like spaces and support for students who are studying university or VET courses online at any Australian institution. Centres provide students with infrastructure – such as:

  • study spaces with high-speed internet access and video conferencing;
  • administrative guidance;
  • academic support services;
  • pastoral care

These facilities and supports provide an alternative to moving away for study and enhance the experience of students studying within their own community. 

Each study hub is unique and embedded within its community. Each hub reflects the community it serves including the place, people, local industry and educational provisions.

Regional university study hubs are funded by the Australian Government Department of Education (DoE). This study hub will be known as Country Universities Centre – Eastern Tasmania (St Helens) and is due to open by mid-2025.
