13 February 2020: The University of Canberra believes in the power of cultural inspiration and has teamed up with some of the world’s leading cultural institutions to give new students the chance to immerse themselves in the world of art, history and discovery with the UC Cultural Pass.
Arts and Design students commencing studies at the University in 2020 will have access to a ‘UC Cultural Pass’ to immerse themselves in the rich world of art, culture and heritage throughout the year.
The $15 pass will give students access to some of Australia’s best institutions located in Canberra including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Museum of Australia, the Museum of Australian Democracy, the Australian War Memorial, the National Portrait Gallery and the National Library of Australia.
UC Cultural Pass holders will get over $350 worth of value and will be able to attend exclusive events and receive priority and discounted access to ticketed events at the participating centres.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for Arts and Design students to expand their cultural knowledge of Canberra, Australia and the world – and experience the benefit of living in Australia’s capital city,” said Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Design, Professor Jason Bainbridge.
“Students will also be able to use the facilities available to them at the institutions, including study areas, to aid their education at UC.”
“The National Gallery of Australia is proud to support the inaugural UC Cultural Pass program. We hope that by making art and artists accessible we can inspire our future cultural leaders and enrich their learning experience,” said Natasha Bullock, Assistant Director, Curatorial and Programs, National Gallery of Australia.
