Why Burgmann?

“Fun, convenience and friendship” are reasons often given by students who live in a university residence. Of these, supportive student friendship is the most prevalent and this is Burgmann’s main focus. Add in excellent pastoral care, academic assistance, great IT facilities, staff living on site, and a secure environment and you are on your way to describing Burgmann College!

Burgmann also has an indefinable quality of spirit. It has something to do with the loyalty, the support and the broad goodwill among our residents – people like you creating lifelong friendships. Indeed, the College goes out of its way to help residents make the most of their time at university and to build a strong platform for life after graduation. As an affiliated College, we take pride in our independence and our commitment to partnering with the ANU, Australia’s National University.

And then there’s “location location location” – there being nothing between Burgmann and Lake Burley Griffin, a great springboard for getting the best out of Canberra. You are in the nation’s capital, with unique interests and dynamics created by having Parliament, key national bodies and diplomatic communities close to hand.

We welcome all community minded students who are focussed academically and in other ways, and wish to work seriously to achieve their goals. There is fun, partying and fabulous friendships along the way, of course, but the primary goal is gaining a good degree and preparing yourself to take your place in the world.
