Our international vision
In an increasingly global workplace, our vision is to create graduates with enhanced international capabilities, and an intercultural understanding among students, staff and the wider community.
We will achieve this by focusing on these dimensions:
- a diverse student and staff cohort
- internationally relevant and impactful research
- a network of global, comprehensive partnerships that supports our mission to be a catalyst for positive change
- internationalisation of the curriculum aligned with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global perspectives, intercultural skills, ethics, social responsibility and sustainability
- international experiences for students and staff.
We focus on engagement across the globe to offer a network of personal and institutional relationships that support student learning, enrich the student experience, and enhance research collaborations.
