Federation University - Berwick
About the University
Federation University Australia, Berwick Campus is a campus of Federation University Australia located in Berwick, which is a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, in the state of Victoria. It offers degrees in Business and Commerce, Criminal Justice, Nursing and Education.It is situated in the City of Casey, one of Australia's fastest growing areas with approximately 2000 students attending the Campus. The campus's buildings were opened in 1996. Small in comparison to other campuses, it covered an area of only 55 hectares. A student accommodation building was completed in 2006 to stabilise the demand generated by both local and the vast number of international students. Faculties have come and gone over the years and now the School of Nursing and Healthcare Professions holds the majority of students on campus.
The campus - as Monash University, Berwick - celebrated its 10th anniversary on 29 April 2006.

On 15 July 2016 it was announced that Federation University Australia would take responsibility for the Berwick Campus from 2017 pending government approvals. This officially commenced on 1 January 2018, as a campus of Federation University Australia.
