University of Tasmania Announces International Study Centre in Melbourne CBD for 2023

University of Tasmania to open international study centre in Melbourne CBD

The University of Tasmania will open a specialist international study centre in the centre of Melbourne.

The centre will be the first of its kind for the University and will enable it to tap into the high volume of international students who prefer to study in large metropolitan centres – reflecting a range of factors such as migrant diasporas, business, tourism and travel links. 

The centre will offer its first courses in Semester 2 2023, with learning in on-campus mode and students taught through face-to-face workshops. Students will also have access to work-integrated learning opportunities in a similar manner to on-campus students at other locations.

The Melbourne centre will extend the University’s national footprint and diversify the source countries for international enrolments.  It builds on the earlier establishment of the Rozelle campus in NSW, which caters for domestic students in health sciences. It will also help to support the University’s relationships with new industry partners to facilitate learning, internship, and employment opportunities for our students.

It will be operated by the international education services provider ECA (Education Centre of Australia), which has 15 years of experience in delivering courses for international students and a global presence across seven international regions.  Materials provision and moderation will be carried out by University of Tasmania unit coordinators.

The University of Canberra is accepting applications for its Bachelor of Nursing course to be offered at the University’s Sydney Hills campus for Semester One 2023 in partnership with Education Centre of Australia.

From February 2023, students will be able to attend the new, state-of-the-art campus at University of Canberra Sydney Hills (UCSH) – in Castle Hill.

The University has expanded its in-demand Bachelor of Nursing course outside of its locale in the nations’ capital, in response to growth in northwest Sydney.

“UC has a clear connection to Canberra. We also place important emphasis on our global and regional reach and presence, illustrated in part by our partnership with ECA, in order to reimagine our education offerings and meet the educational demands of Australia’s future workforce,” Professor Nixon said.

“Our industry partnerships with local and regional clinical placement facilities will provide UC Sydney Hills students with expert placement experiences, setting them up for a successful future in the local healthcare workforce.”

Manveer Perhar, UCSH Campus Director mirrored the sentiment: “We are thrilled to be bringing the in-demand Bachelor of Nursing from UC to Sydney Hills and provide more students with the opportunity to study at UC. The new campus will offer students the same high-quality education and clinical experience that UC is known for, while also giving them the chance to study in one of Australia’s most vibrant and diverse cities.”

The new purpose-built campus offers 2,000 square metres of teaching and study spaces, and features state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, including simulation labs and clinical training spaces, to provide students with a hands-on learning experience. In addition, students will have access to a range of support services, including academic advising, career counselling, and financial aid.

“We are very excited to be celebrating the opening of the UCSH campus in Castle Hill. The partnership between The University of Canberra and Education Centre of Australia to deliver nursing and other courses in high demand in The Hills District of Sydney is an Australian first: a public private partnership aimed at delivering world-class education focusing on nursing for both local and international students. The University of Canberra is a highly ranked university and the courses being offered at the campus will all be of exactly the same quality and standing as those offered in the main campus in Canberra. The investment we are making in The Hills will create jobs and help alleviate some of the skills shortages locally and regionally. This is the just the beginning of a significant operation and we are very grateful for the support of the university, The Hills Shire Council and partner healthcare providers,” said Rupesh K. Singh, CEO of Education Centre of Australia.

The University of Canberra Sydney Hills campus is located in the northwest of Sydney, close to major shopping centres, Castle Towers and Castle Mall, Castle Hill, as well as cafes, restaurants, and local shops, which will provide a range of services to support UCSH students.

Students studying at the University of Canberra Sydney Hills campus will have access to local and regional clinical placements and employment opportunities, further enhancing their student experience.

It is not too late to apply for 2023 intake. UCSH is still accepting students in Semester Two 2023.

IT Masters is celebrating 20 years as a leader in online IT higher education. Through a partnership with Charles Sturt University, they have developed courses that focus heavily on the knowledge of industry professionals and have continued to keep up with rapidly advancing technologies by staying true to their core values of being industry-led and student-focused.

These courses (including the then-emerging Cyber Security field) commenced when IT Masters’ founder, Martin Hale, saw a need in the tech community to provide higher education to professionals who had maybe missed out on formal qualifications but often had many years of experience and a load of industry certifications. Martin approached Charles Sturt with a vision of a joint academic and industry-based degree structure where half of the subjects were provided by Charles Sturt and half by IT Masters using active industry professionals.

That structure endures to this day and is still highly unusual, if not unique, in post-graduate education, giving ITMasters/Charles Sturt students the best of both worlds.

Online course delivery has of course greatly improved, progressing from printed texts and static online lectures with bulletin boards for chat to highly interactive online lectures and discussion forums where a diverse range of students can learn collaboratively.

“When we started, it was much harder for the students. We had to mail out their packages each session, and most of them were on dial-up internet, so it could be slow and painful, but they persevered and succeeded: over 8,800 students have attended our masters and graduate certificate courses since 2003,” says CEO Chantelle Hale.

“A key part of IT Masters’ success is our free short courses, which reflect and add to the content of our degrees. Over 500,000 students have enrolled in these short courses since we started, and they give confidence and practice to our future students studying at post-graduate levels,” said Ms. Hale. “We were ahead of the curve in 2003, and we are still at the forefront of the current wave in online post-graduate education in 2023.”

“I want to pay tribute to Charles Sturt University, they took a chance on a small company with a big idea and backed us all the way. Our 20-year partnership is unparalleled, and we are always grateful for Charles Sturt’s generosity and desire to innovate.”

IT Masters and Charles Sturt were the first higher education providers to introduce the following into postgraduate IT degrees:

  • 100% online learning for IT higher education
  • Recognition of industry certification credit in our courses
  • Dual academic and industry-led course structure
  • Postgraduate pathways for students without undergraduate qualifications
  • Free university-level short courses to allow students to try online learning risk-free

All this innovation has contributed to IT Masters/Charles Sturt being for many years the leader in the number of online postgraduate students in IT, and even after the massive expansion of online education into the sandstone universities since the pandemic, IT Masters/Charles Sturt still rank in the top 3 institutions nationally.

“Of course, none of this would have been possible without our dedicated mentors, who are leading the industry subjects. They are motivated by a desire to give back to their industry and they work all day then teach until late at night,” Ms. Hale said, “and our students are in a class of their own, often juggling busy work life, families, and study at the same time. They consistently rank in the top 80% of students at Charles Sturt. Without them, we could not exist. A big thanks to every student that has started one of our courses. We like to think that our student-first approach improves our students’ ability to thrive in their courses.”

Sometimes pioneers do succeed through intensive effort and dedication to students and our mentors.
