We are committed to providing a personalised learning experience to every student. We keep our class sizes small so that our experienced teachers can give individual attention to every student. Our integrated approach to education ensures that our students are job-ready, and equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career. Our Bachelor's courses are broad-based and comprehensive; designed to offer both breadth and depth in core areas and to provide graduates with a wide range of knowledge, critical reasoning skills, and a high level of employability. Highlights of the degrees are the work-related internships that students undertake as well as the seamless pathway from Vocational Education and Training (VET) diplomas into the degree. All higher education courses are accredited by TEQSA and meet the requirements for the relevant level of study on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) -
