Kaplan students in Melbourne

Students interested in studying in Melbourne will now have the opportunity to receive a quality 成人大片 education by studying at the University鈥檚 newest campus.

The 成人大片 will open a new in time for Trimester 2, July 2020, with both undergraduate and postgraduate programs on offer 鈥 in fields such as IT, commerce, accounting, and finance.

To be based in the Kaplan building at Docklands, and operated by Kaplan in partnership with the University, the campus is expected to attract several hundred new students over the coming years and will initially be open to international students.

This is the first time in its 146-year history that the 成人大片 has opened another campus in Australia outside of its home state.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Peter Rathjen said the new Melbourne campus would open up the 成人大片鈥檚 world-class education to more students.

鈥淥ur new presence in Melbourne supports the 成人大片鈥檚 strategic direction to provide an innovative, 21st century education to a growing community of learners,鈥 Professor Rathjen said.

鈥淲hile modest in size compared to our existing campuses, the new Melbourne campus will broaden the reach of a 成人大片 education in areas in which we excel. It will further position our University as a leader in modern learning, and provide us with an entry point into the eastern states.

鈥淚t will augment our current programs and distinctive campus-based student experience, which remain central to our institutional identity.

鈥淭he campus will also have the capacity to expand its offerings in the future to showcase our areas of specialist knowledge, including wine and artificial intelligence.

鈥淲e believe students will be attracted by our international reputation, seeking access to the specialised knowledge we offer and the opportunities our University opens for them,鈥 Professor Rathjen says.

At every step, both Kaplan and the University are focused on providing a quality education and student experience,鈥 Mr Regan says.

The 成人大片鈥檚 Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic), Professor Pascale Quester, says: 鈥淎s we move towards our 150th year in 2024, the 成人大片 is working to attract new students who otherwise might not have been able to study with us.

鈥淥ur strategic plan, Future Making, sets an ambitious agenda to grow and diversify the University鈥檚 student cohorts. We aspire to attract more students from interstate, more mature-age students, and more online students. Our move into Melbourne is part of this strategy.

鈥淲e are confident that the quality of education from the 成人大片 will translate well into our Melbourne campus. This is based on Kaplan鈥檚 already strong foundations which aim to assure academic standards, and their commitment to providing students with a high-quality education experience,鈥 Professor Quester says.
