The City of Armadale is delighted to have secured funding from the Department of Education to establish a Suburban University Study Hub (SUSH) in the Armadale city centre.
This exciting initiative is funded by the Federal Government as part of its Regional and Suburban University Study Hubs program. It provides essential support to students from regional or outer metropolitan areas, to pursue higher education.
The Armadale SUSH will offer a dedicated space for study, resources, and mentorship, helping to create additional pathways for academic success. This new facility will offer a range of tailored services to help students access and succeed in tertiary education.
Some of the key features of the inner-city hub include:
- Dedicated study spaces, breakout areas, video conferencing and fast internet
- Administrative and academic skills support, which includes help with writing, research and navigating university processes
- Student wellbeing services including study advice, support with paid placements and work integrated learning, plus career guidance.
Mayor Ruth Butterfield said: “The creation of an Armadale Suburban University Study Hub is a significant and vital step forward for local students. Accessible educational resources close to home, will reduce the burden and costs of long commutes to university campuses and will foster a culture of learning and innovation in our community.
“The Armadale SUSH will be a thriving environment for growth and collaboration between students and universities across Australia, ensuring the City of Armadale is leading the way for educational opportunities in the region. Thank you to the Department of Education for making this possible."
The Armadale SUSH is expected to become a focal point for students, offering a welcoming environment for academic and personal development. It will encourage stronger connections between local employers, industry leaders, and education providers, helping to bridge the gap between learning and real-world employment opportunities
The City of Armadale looks forward to the positive impact this new facility will have on its community as it supports the next generation of tertiary students in their academic journeys.
The Armadale Suburban University Study Hub is scheduled to open in 2025.
