Marcus Oldham College at Geelong Victoria is Australia's leading farm business management, agribusiness and equine business management college with a reputation for providing quality education. Being independent allows our courses to be developed in close consultation with the relevant industries and to incorporate new trends and technology into the teaching programs. Courses are delivered in small class sizes by full-time and guest lecturers who have extensive commercial experience and can relate theory to practice.
Our emphasis is on business management which provides skills that are readily transferable across a wide range of careers, resulting in highly employable graduates who are at the leading edge of their chosen fields.
Studying at Marcus Oldham means you experience so much more than simply an education. The extensive use of study tours at both a national and international level provide a’real world’ education that complements the lecture room tuition.
Students from all states of Australia and overseas live on campus and study in an environment which establishes networks across Australia.
Living On Campus
Most students who study full-time at Marcus Oldham College live on campus in student residences. The College enjoys a convenient geographic location to allow a good life in leisure hours. Situated on 200 hectares it is 20 minutes from the centre of Geelong. The Geelong Bypass is very close to the College and Melbourne is about a 45 minute drive, train services are frequent, and Avalon Airport is 30 minutes from the College. Tullamarine Airport is one and a half hour drive, and Gull Transport provides an excellent bus service. World class surf beaches and the Great Ocean Road are nearby.
Accommodation for students is in individual bed/study rooms, and shared bathroom and laundry facilities. Each room is connected to the College internal IT system and the internet. The College also provides computers in the Computer Room and Library allowing students to study in both these areas 24 hours seven days per week.
The Dining Room is a central feature of the College and all students enjoy three meals a day, seven days a week in tern time. Morning tea is available on week days.
As students undertake one-day and multi-day study tours, living on campus is convenient for those tours that depart early in the day or return in the evening. Having meals provided means you do not have to organise meals for yourself.
Living on campus is a great way to meet new friends and form networks with colleagues that in many cases last a life time. Students who develop effective networks in their early years of study can expect more support in both future careers and personal growth in their industry of choice. It also makes it easy to be involved in sporting and social activities. The College has a large network of Old Students, employers and sponsors which may assist students to advance their careers.
