The AIHE Advantage
At AIHE we place students at the center of our teaching and learning and provide our learning partners (AIHE students) with a more personalised and supportive environment on campus. Here are a few things that we do differently (and we think better too!).
- At AIHE every day is OPEN DAY! Students are welcome to come to the campus or request a virtual tour guided by one of our staff.
- AIHE offers a boutique approach to Higher Education, providing a personal and intimate learning environment where students are respected as learning partners and not treated as just a student number.
- Our class sizes are smaller, with superior staff-to-student ratios, which means more engagement and discussion in AIHE classes.
- Premium location - our campuses are located in central hubs of Melbourne and Adelaide, convenient and accessible to public transport (some of these are FREE!), shopping, restaurants, and amenities. This provides students with more choices for accommodation and different budgets.
- AIHE’s Academic Calendar provides three Study Periods (Trimesters) each year and provides more flexible study plans and more intakes than most universities.
- AIHE students have access to staff and management for assistance and support. We have an open-door policy here. Get assistance and help when you need it.
- AIHE’s academic staff are postgraduate and doctorate qualified, with significant experience in industry and teaching in Australian universities and higher education institutes.
- AIHE ensures that students have access to professional counselling services, academic support, as well as personal support services.
- E-textbooks and all learning resources are provided by AIHE free of charge. That’s right, save on study costs and there is no need to purchase textbooks for subjects.
- All AIHE students have free access to EBSCO Host for additional learning materials. EBSCO is essentially an e-Library and includes more than 4,500 full-text business magazines, journals and trade publications, 1,300 full-text newspapers, 1.17 million full-text company profiles and 2 million TV and radio news transcripts.
- AIHE students are required to have their own tablet or laptop computer to support their studies. Students access e-textbook and online materials, discussion forums, announcements, online assessment and many other features as part of their degree studies.
- Academic Skills Workshops are provided to students at AIHE at the beginning of each study period and these are useful for students commencing their course, or those wanting to enhance their skills.
- AIHE is part of the larger Adelaide Education Group (AEG) and can provide alternative entry pathways in degree studies for students who do not meet the requirements for direct entry. Some of these can provide credit towards your degree too!
- We aim to make tuition more affordable. In 2022 - AIHE is providing Student Support Scholarships for all international applicants. This provides a 30% reduction in the tuition fees for the whole course to provide financial assistance to students.
