At University College we are dedicated to providing students with an enriching residential college experience at a critical stage of their lives to enable positive and transformative outcomes. 

Empowerment and growth – Striving to become our best selves. Always open to new ideas, skills and knowledge. Holistic well-rounded growth. 

Personal responsibility – Doing the right thing. 

Staying true – Authentic to the core. Genuine, open, fair and honest. 

Respect and kindness – Inclusive, empathetic and motivated by the common good. 

Care for community – Conserve and contribute, locally and globally. 

Progressive – Building on our rich heritage as a trailblazer in women’s education and leadership to meet the challenges of the future. 

Our motto is Frappe Fort – which is interpreted as ‘love, passion and die hard spirit’ – something that reflects the struggle of those who fought in the 1930s to establish us as the first independent women’s college associated with the University of Melbourne.
