Partnerships

Find out how we partner with local and global organisations to improve the student experience and enhance our community connection.

How do we connect learning with the real world? Through partnerships. We work closely with industry, government, community and organisations in Australia and globally to share knowledge, expertise and facilities – and to create meaningful opportunities for our students.

Partnerships are an integral part of our co‑op education model, which is all about sending students out into the workplace through placements, cadetships and applied research projects. We also partner with various welfare groups to help students who might be struggling with the cost of living.

Read about some of our current partnerships.
