Mandurah has been chosen as the location for one of Australia's first suburban university study hubs.
The Peel region location is one of three Suburban University Study Hubs announced for Perth and 10 in the country, bringing university closer to those who lives in the outer suburbs.
The hub will provide student support and campus-style facilities for students who are studying a university or TAFE course without having to leave their community.
The other Perth locations are Armadale and Ellenbrook.
“Almost one in two young people in their 20s and their 30s have a university degree today. But not everywhere. Not in our outer suburbs and not in regional Australia," Federal Minister for Education Jason Clare said.
“We know they work. The evidence is they increase the number of people going to uni and finishing a uni degree.
“Now for the first time, we are putting these University Study Hubs in the outer suburbs."
The hubs are expected to be operational by mid-2025.
