About TUC

A Vision for a Vibrant Mid Coast Community

TUC connects Mid Coast residents to higher education through practical support and a welcoming environment. Part of the Australian Government’s Regional University Study Hubs (RUSH) Program, TUC transforms lives and communities, enabling students to achieve their goals without leaving their home or community.

Our Go Further Model: 3 Critical Tiers of Service and Support

Our three-tiered service model ensures we provide comprehensive support to students while addressing the broader needs of the Mid Coast community:

  • Outreach and Widening Participation: Inspiring students through school visits and programs like EduVenture.

  • Student Support: Helping students with study, careers, and cultural activities.

  • Graduate Employment and Workforce Development: Linking graduates to jobs and addressing local skills shortages.

  • Having the TUC Campus available to study at has been endlessly beneficial. Studying From home is full of distractions but being on campus allows me to focus and get the job done.

  • I wouldn't be completing my degree if it weren't for the facilities and support at Taree Universities Campus.

  • I love coming to the Campus - I find I get more done because I don't have the interruptions.

  • It's been brilliant to be not only studying, but to have a base here where I can actually be face to face with people. If I've got anything I need assistance with it just makes it feel so much closer to home.

  • Having a campus close by gives a sense of support and guidance in terms of getting through a degree. I know that if I am struggling with an assessment or if I need some clarification with a unit, I can go and speak to someone face to face or call and speak to one of the staff.
