Programs designed for your career

We understand there is an immediate relationship between what you learn in the classroom and what industries need. That’s why we have undertaken extensive research to make sure our world-class programs match job opportunities in Australia and around the world.

Our close relationships with industry, companies and research bodies bridge the gap between study and work. Many of our faculties have established Faculty Advisory Councils to ensure they retain strong industry links and continue to produce innovative and relevant research.
