The University of Canberra (UC) is a public university in the Australian capital of Canberra .

history

The UC was founded in 1967 as the Canberra College of Advanced Education (CCAE) . The foundation stone was laid by Prime Minister John Gorton on October 28, 1968; this event is still celebrated today as Stone Day . In 1990, CCAE was granted university status and renamed the University of Canberra.

The main campus is in the suburb of Bruce, about 8 km northwest of Canberra . From 2002 to 2005 there was a second campus in Brisbane, Queensland.

From 2000 to 2006, the Metal for the Brain Festival took place in the cafeteria . Today the Stonefest , one of the most popular music festivals in Australia, takes place on the grounds of the UC at the end of October .
