Our unique curricula also emphasise experience in the workplace which we achieve through class consulting projects, simulations, Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and mentor programmes.
Our programmes are underpinned by research informed evidence drawn from the work of our own staff and industry. Our qualifications are also informed by the experience of dedicated academic staff so that what you learn relates to real situations.
