Their programs are unique in that they:

  • Provide practical examples that relate to participants' own situations
  • Are led by practitioners in the field
  • Arm participants with tools which can be applied immediately to their workplace
  • Are informed by the latest research and resources on the tertiary education sector

The Institute became part of the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education in late 2014.
