Participation in higher education
ÌÔÆ¬×ÊÔ´Íø is committed to widening the participation and accessibility of higher education in the community. Through a number of initiatives including equity programs, events, scholarships and education pathways, we aim to support employees and students to achieve their full potential.
Our student cohort is diverse, with 75% of our students choosing to study online. We also support a large mature-aged population as well as students from rural and remote areas, non-English speaking backgrounds, students with disability and students from low socio-economic status backgrounds. To assist these groups in accessing higher education, we offer a range of pathway programs.

We recognise that our students are entering an ever-changing and increasingly competitive workforce. To support and prepare our students in making the transition from university to employment, we offer a range of career development support services including our:
- Career Mentoring Program that allows students to enhance their skill set, network and learn about their chosen industry under the guidance of an experienced industry professional.
- which is a self-paced resource on career planning which begins by focusing on what a career
actually is, how the workforce operates and what skills you need to be successful.
- Understanding who you are, your values, strengths, interests and your career influences will help you make an informed decision about your study and career pathways.
- The modules are self-paced and you can log in as many times as you need to access the information, videos and activities.
