The Teaching Programme
The Institute will be committed to the development and delivery of best practice, evidence-based programmes, with contemporary research underpinning its courses. Because evidence-based methodologies are of fundamental importance to the Institute’s mission, the Institute will assist in bringing together the leading researchers in relevant fields to conduct research to inform its programmes.
The Institute’s programmes will have an emphasis on the use of practising leaders and managers to teach in its courses, drawn from a broad range of national and international institutions. The Institute will therefore attract Visiting Fellows of national and international repute.
Existing data and expertise on higher education and VET will inform the Institute’s educational programmes. The Institute’s courses will be underpinned by a research programme, conducted primarily through collaborating institutions in Australia and overseas.
The Institute will not be dependent on the staff of any one organisation to provide its research, advice and training, but will bring together the most experienced teams of lecturers, analysts and strategic thinkers, using a purpose-based approach. The Institute will also make use of Visiting Fellows who might stay in the Institute for longer periods.
The Institute will work collaboratively with other institutions to develop subjects and courses that would allow cross-licensing of existing and new materials and cross-crediting arrangements for the mutual benefit of the collaborating institutions.
The awarding institution for the Institute’s award courses will be the University of Melbourne.
