Our rich culture focusses on innovation, social responsibility, law and technology, and external engagement. We develop flexible, inclusive, relevant and highly engaged learning experiences to prepare students for a successful career.
Importantly, we forge robust connections with industry partners such as Siemens, Bendigo Bank, Leo Cussens Institute and Medibank as well as government and community organisations across our teaching and research.
International accreditation
We’re accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. This recognises our demonstrated focus on excellence in all areas of our mission including teaching, research, curricula development and student learning, as well as our commitment to continuous improvement.
It is synonymous with the highest standard of quality and we share it with just five per cent of the world’s leading business schools.
International membership
Our mission strongly reflects the ethos of the world’s largest collective and relationship between the UN and business schools, the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).
PRME operates as a framework to facilitate the engagement of future business leaders around values of responsibility and ethics. As a signatory to PRME, we are committed to shaping responsible business leaders of the future and advancing the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our teaching, research and engagement platforms.
Quality of teaching and learning
We provide our students and graduates with the skills, knowledge and mindsets to make them flexible and adaptable within the changing and globalised world. Our students are part of technology-rich learning and teaching environments that meet the expectations of contemporary learners and equip them with the digital literacy and confidence to respond to opportunities in their field and to operate their own business.
See how our students and recent graduates rate their experience, collected in the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching – a suite of government endorsed surveys for higher education programs across Australia.
