International students from India, Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand and Philippines enrolled for the Avondale Business School’s Bachelors of Business Degree (BBus) program. Third party provider UIT (Universal Institute of Technology) had its Orientation day on Thursday, Feb 21, 2019. Fourteen new and returning students formed the Sem 1, 2019 cohort at the Melbourne campus.
This off campus location at UIT has been operating for 4 years since 2015 in partnership to provide the Avondale Business Degree to students living in the Melbourne city area. This has resulted in total six students graduating with BBus degrees (3 Marketing, 2 Accounting and 1 Human Resources major area of study) in 2017 and 2018.
Although this approach is not new in the tertiary education sector Avondale Business School runs a model that has a unique. A blended delivery style with tutors present in the offsite campus to enable the face-to-face contact with students. Lectures are recorded at the Avondale LM campus and are uploaded using the Learning Management System (Moodle) for students to learn and engage at the offsite. Best wishes for the new students and for the partnership.
