The Australian College of Applied Professions (ACAP), now officially recognized as ACAP University College, is a private higher education provider in Australia that specializes in applied disciplines such as psychology, counselling, social work, criminology, coaching, management, and law. Established in 1983 and formerly known as the Australian College of Applied Psychology, ACAP has campuses in major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Byron Bay, and also offers flexible online study options. ACAP’s programs are professionally accredited by relevant industry bodies such as the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA), ensuring graduates meet national standards for professional practice. The college focuses on small class sizes, practical learning, and mandatory placements to prepare students for real-world careers in the helping professions. In July 2024, ACAP was officially granted the status of a “University College” by Australia’s higher education regulator, TEQSA. While it offers strong academic pathways and scholarships for both domestic and international students, feedback from former students is mixed, with some praising the learning environment and others expressing concerns about placement coordination and student support. Nonetheless, ACAP remains a respected option for students seeking a practice-oriented education in applied professional fields.
