Welcome to the college
Whatever the course you’ve enrolled in, we pride ourselves on offering a supportive environment for students from all study areas. As you know, in many of our courses you can choose to study online, on campus, take a blended approach, and/or in some cases elect to do an intensive topic to fast-track your studies. Our academic and professional staff are passionate about helping you achieve your best during your study. We’re ready to help if you have any queries.
As a graduate of the college, you’ll walk away with professional qualifications, but also adaptive and critical thinking skills, be able to develop individual thought, respond to criticism, and be exposed to new technology and research, so you can thrive in your chosen career.

Join a club or group
Joining a Flinders University Student Association (FUSA) club is a great way to involve yourself in the University community and meet like-minded individuals who share the same hobby or passion. Not only does it provide a great break from study, joining a club expands your opportunities outside of the classroom and allows you to network with others in the same field of study. Below is a snapshot of the clubs that relate to the College of Business, Government and Law.
For a full list of clubs and associations, visit the FUSA website.
The Cove is open between 7.30am and 6pm every day Monday to Friday. It can also be accessed by swipe card from 6am and from 6pm to 10pm on these days. Swipe card access can be granted on request for outside these hours Monday to Friday, and for weekends.
