The University of Canberra College (UCC) is a private institution affiliated with the University of Canberra, which is a public university. UCC operates as a pathway provider, offering preparatory courses and diplomas designed to help students transition into degree programs at the University of Canberra. While the University of Canberra itself is publicly funded, UCC functions as a private entity, focusing on bridging education and vocational training. This distinction allows UCC to offer specialized programs while maintaining close ties to the public university’s academic structure and resources.
