<P> After obtaining his BA , Jackman completed the one - year course `` The Journey '' at the Actors ' Centre in Sydney . About studying acting full - time , he stated , `` It was n't until I was 22 that I ever thought about my hobby being something I could make a living out of . As a boy , I 'd always had an interest in theatre . But the idea at my school was that drama and music were to round out the man . It was n't what one did for a living . I got over that . I found the courage to stand up and say , ' I want to do it ' . '' After completing `` The Journey '' , he was offered a role on the popular soap opera Neighbours but turned it down to attend the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts of Edith Cowan University in Perth , Western Australia , from which he graduated in 1994 . </P>
