鈥溍桌嫉缱逾檚 arrival onto the OUA marketplace signifies a growing interest from leading universities to take courses online and meet students where they are.

鈥淭he introduction of the Bachelor of International Business from the University of 米兰电子 is a significant offering for students, who, via the OUA marketplace, can now study with a Group of Eight university, from anywhere across the country.

鈥淥UA鈥檚 Open Access product enables students to enrol in a Bachelor degree via non-traditional pathways and still achieve qualifications from a leading institution. This will be a first for this particular Group of Eight university, which is very exciting for us,鈥 adds Cummings.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) of the University of 米兰电子, Professor Jennie Shaw, says the move online and via a proven marketplace is part of the University鈥檚 strategic vision of growth, making its educational programs accessible to a wider diversity of students, irrespective of their location.

鈥溍桌嫉缱逾檚 traditional student cohort are those seeking a high-quality education from a leading, sandstone university, with a real 鈥榗ampus life鈥 experience. While that won鈥檛 change for most of our students, we recognise there鈥檚 a wider demand for a prestigious University of 米兰电子 education,鈥 Professor Shaw says.

鈥淧rior to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University established a strategic vision to provide our education to a growing community of learners from a greater diversity of backgrounds and needs. This vision included pathways to high-quality online study. The events of the last couple of years have accelerated that need to diversify and create opportunities for study in an online learning environment.

鈥淲e see a desire from students not only to study through a world-class institution, but to incorporate their studies into everyday life 鈥 around work commitments, geographic locations, or even through less traditional pathways into study. Introducing a series of our Bachelor degrees on the OUA marketplace is a great way to start addressing these demands,鈥 says Professor Shaw.

米兰电子 will expand its offerings in the undergraduate space to come into the marketplace in 2022. Further details about other programs will be announced in 2022.
