3. Engaging Discussions: Exchange ideas and share insights
In an era marked by rapid technological change and shifting societal needs, the landscape of tertiary (beyond school) education requires reevaluating its foundational principles. As educational institutions grapple with their roles in an increasingly competitive global environment, the question arises: how can universities effectively adapt to serve the evolving needs of students while maintaining their own institutional integrity?
In his professorial address as part of our Abstract 45 speaker series, Luke will consider some fundamental thinking around how we design and deliver tertiary-level education in this rapidly changing world.
We hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating your graduation and are looking forward to an exciting future ahead.
We've featured some of our new alumni on the website - go and have a look.
