University study hubs are small scale facilities, often co-located with existing education infrastructure, for example TAFE campuses, public libraries, or other community infrastructure.

Suburban university study hubs play a significant role in enhancing the academic experience for students by providing them with the necessary resources and support to succeed in their studies.

The City will apply for a grant that provides funding to create opportunities for students in peri-rural areas. With the soon to be completed METRONET line linking Ellenbrook with improved transport connections, it will be easier than ever for people to travel to the study hub location. Our community members will also benefit from accessing a dedicated study hub closer to home.

A study hub provides university and VET students a place to study and get assistance from staff members that understand how higher education operates.

Having a local study hub with all required facilities at their disposal would enable students to save in travelling costs and time. Staff will also be available to provide relevant support where possible.

The study hub will also be a 24-hour facility. The aim is to widen participation and support lifelong learning. Suburban university study hubs will deliver a flexible, adaptive approach for students who typically face barriers in accessing learning opportunities.
