The open-air Gathering Space centres the campus, including eateries and cafés, the library, Student Services, and individual and group study spaces. The collegiality of the campus makes it an ideal location for students to study, where they can receive bespoke, engaged interactions with staff in a supportive learning environment.

The campus boasts a variety amenity designed for every aspect of student life. There's something for everyone, whether engaging in physical activity at the Gym & Sports Centre, unwinding in the exclusive Student Lounge, or leveraging the technology-rich Student Learning Centre and computer labs.

At the National Marine Science Centre, our marine science students thrive just steps away from the stunning Solitary Islands Marine Park in Coffs Harbour's lush sub-tropical setting.
