WHY STUDY at ACU? UNIQUE 1 Australian Catholic University Has Six Campuses Around Australia OUR ACUyour choice 1 2 WHY STUDY AT ACU? UNIQUE 1 Australian Catholic University has six campuses around Australia. We aim to empower our students to think critically and ethically, and gain the skills to bring about change in their communities, professions and industries. WE VALUE YOU 2 As a publicly funded university, we welcome staff and students of all beliefs and backgrounds, and uphold a respectful, open-minded and culturally diverse learning environment. We support our students in attaining the highest level of academic achievement through the provision of quality teaching and resources. We are committed to providing equal access to education for all people. We provide flexible learning options such as part-time study and pathway courses to meet the ever-changing needs of our students. PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE 3 We build and maintain strong links with our communities and industries to produce highly skilled professionals who are leaders in their field. Throughout the course of their studies, students undertake professional placements, volunteer work and community service, with many securing excellent jobs before they graduate. MORE THAN STUDY 4 University is a great place to meet new people and have new experiences. Each campus student association regularly hosts events such as barbecues, balls and concerts. There are also clubs, societies and initiatives, and sporting events such as ACU Games and University Games. We are committed to the development of social and community engagement by providing opportunities such as volunteer experience programs which allow students to give back to their communities and make a difference. TRAVEL THE WORLD 5 Students don’t have to wait until they graduate to see more of Australia and the world. ACU students can attend an overseas university in more than 16 countries, complete an internship with Disney, and work in community programs around the world – all while receiving credit towards their degree. YOUR SUCCESS 6 We understand that success means different things to different students. The Office of Student Success works closely with students to meet their unique personal and academic needs. The Office provides academic skills, career development and counselling services, and support for people with special needs or disabilities on each campus. Campus Life Coordinators and the ACU National Student Association (ACUNSA) ensure students have the resources they need to achieve a healthy study/life balance. CATHOLIC INTELLECTUAL TRADITION 7 As Australia’s leading Catholic university, ACU is fortunate to be supported by the richness of more than 2,000 years of Catholic intellectual tradition. As a member of the International Federation of Catholic Universities, we are devoted, through research as well as teaching, to communicating truth in every field of knowledge, and to promoting the dignity of all people and the common good. 3 Where can Benny Callaghan James Ajaka Benny, an arts graduate from James’ passion for building ACU, is now Chief Executive of the brands began while studying a School of Social Entrepreneurs Bachelor of Commerce at ACU, ACU which runs nine-month programs and has taken him from the world for would-be entrepreneurs. of boxing to the role of CEO at Benny’s students have provided Nudie juices. affordable fresh food hampers to TAKE One of James’ first adventures struggling families, helped girls in business came after meeting in Sierra Leone attend school, boxer Kostya Tszyu. “I felt there and given young people access to YOU? were so many things he should driving lessons. be doing with his brand,” said “The school is not about taking James, who then went on to experienced entrepreneurs; we’re secure Kostya a line of boxing taking ordinary, everyday people equipment, a DVD and a triple with big passion and ideas.” book deal. “We put together a whole bunch of initiatives for The school is built on the premise Kostya which are still around that people who experience today.” problems first-hand often have the best ideas on how to solve Then in 2002, James was them, but often lack the skills, approached by Tim Pethick to confidence, experience and launch a fruit juice business. networks to bring them to life. “When we started, there was a blender, one truck and some “Every day I get to associate fruit – we sold 40 bottles in our with some pretty inspired and first week.

  • August 26: Jeff Horn-Tim Tszyu Down Under Showdown Headlines Week of International Cards Exclusively on ESPN+
    August 26: Jeff Horn-Tim Tszyu Down Under Showdown Headlines Week of International Cards Exclusively on ESPN+ (August 21, 2020) —Australia’s most anticipated fistic showdown in years has an American streaming home. Former welterweight world champion and Manny Pacquiao conqueror Jeff “The Hornet” Horn will face Tim Tszyu in a 10- round junior middleweight bout Wednesday, Aug. 26, at Queensland Country Bank Stadium in Townsville, Australia. A socially distanced crowd of more than 16,000 fans are expected for Horn-Tszyu, which will headline a special edition of Breakfast and Boxing exclusively on ESPN+ (5 a.m. ET/2 a.m. PT). Horn (20-2-1, 13 KOs), from Brisbane, toppled Pacquiao in July 2017 via unanimous decision to win the WBO welterweight world title. Horn-Pacquiao, the Top Rank on ESPN series premier, peaked at 4.4 million viewers. Horn defended his title once before losing via ninth-round stoppage to Terence “Bud” Crawford in June 2018. He is 2-1 since the Crawford loss, most recently splitting a pair of action classics against countryman Michael Zerafa in 2019. Tszyu (15-0, 11 KO), the Sydney-born son of legendary former world champion Kostya Tszyu, returns from a nearly nine-month layoff. He graduated from prospect to contender in 2019, closing out the year in December with a fourth-round TKO over Jack Brubaker that streamed live on ESPN+. “In my career, what I’ve accomplished and what I’m doing, my dad doesn’t play much of a role. I do my own stuff,” Tszyu told ESPN recently.

  • An Analysis of Russia's
    AN ANALYSIS OF RUSSIA’S ‘ALTERNATIVE’ SOFT POWER STRATEGY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY DISCOURSE VIA SPORTS MEGA-EVENTS By NINA KRAMAREVA A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences University of Birmingham March 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract This thesis seeks to show through both historical and contemporary examples what makes Russia an ‘outlier’ among key sports mega-events hosts. More specifically, this thesis sets out to establish how external and internal objectives Russia pursued in the context of the 1980 Olympics and the 2014 Sochi Olympics differed from those of other sports mega-event hosts, including non-liberal states. The originality of this thesis lies not only in the fact that it sheds light on Russia’s strategy of sports mega-event hosting, but that it does so from the vantage point of the combination of the three most popular approaches in the extant sports mega-event research: public diplomacy, place branding and soft power. Moreover, this study places Russia’s hosting of sports mega-events within constructivist international relations theory, which prioritises identity and interests.
