BALLARAT, Australia<\/span><\/span>, Dec. 8, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Federation University Australia is the type of university where students feel seen, supported and set up for success.

The Premier’s Award is the highest recognition for international education in Victoria<\/span>, and reflects Federation’s commitment to ensuring students succeed academically, professionally and personally.<\/p>\n

Presented by The Hon. John Brumby AO, Chair of the Victorian International Education Advisory Council and Former Premier of Victoria<\/span>, the Award recognises Federation University’s investment in international student success and strong track record in preparing graduates for globally competitive careers.<\/p>\n

The University’s nation-leading Co-operative Education Model was also acknowledged with the Excellence in International Student Employability and Career Development Award.<\/p>\n

Co-op helps students kickstart their careers by providing real-world work experience and industry connections as part of their study.<\/p>\n

In an Australian first, Co-op offers paid placements that count towards a student’s qualification without extending the length of their degree.<\/p>\n

Importantly Co-op is translating into real-world outcomes, with Federation named number one in Victoria<\/span> for overall postgraduate employment, and number two in Victoria<\/span> for overall undergraduate employment \u2013 with many international students securing ongoing employment as a result of their Co-op placement.<\/p>\n

Since 2013, the Victorian International Education Awards have celebrated the state’s most exceptional international students, recent graduates and industry providers.<\/p>\n

The awards highlight excellence in leadership and innovation in the international education sector, re-enforcing Victoria’s<\/span> position as a world-class education destination.<\/p>\n
