ACPE is an independent institution of Higher Education. The difference between ACPE and a University is that ACPE is private and most universities are public institutions with a wider range of discipline areas. As a leading Health, Sport, Education and Dance provider in Australia, ACPE is tends to focus on niche areas that are combined with experience placements. This has enabled graduates to find immediate employment. To be a university under the Higher Education Category standards, a provider has to have a larger number of discipline areas among other criteria. However, our degrees are fully accredited by TEQSA and are recognised in the same way as those of large public providers.
