We put you first!

When you join ACPE, you will join a community of like-minded individuals who share your passion for sport. Connecting with your peers has never been easier through the many weekly activities we have on campus held by our dedicated Student Engagement team. Additionally, our classes are much smaller than the larger universities, as we value your individuality. Here you’ll never feel like just another number. Our faculty members are not just educators, they’re dedicated individuals who are committed to your success. This is clear through recent QILT data which depicted our teaching quality at 89.6%. (Student Experience Survey, 2023).

Experience greatness beyond theory

It’s important to get your foot in the door early on, especially in the sports industry. Our extensive industry network lets you connect with key players and take part in embedded industry engagement, work integrated learning placements and internship opportunities. In many cases, our students secure a long-term job with our partner network before graduating.
