For over 50 years, UNSW Global has given international students the opportunity to realise their university dreams in Sydney. And now, it's giving students even more choice on where to study next, with five new partners for its flagship online pathway program.
Launched in early 2021 and delivered by OpenLearning, UNSW Global's Transition Program Online gives international students the opportunity to commence a bachelor's degree at UNSW Sydney after completing the four-month pathway program. Combining a UNSW developed curriculum and OpenLearning's next generation social learning platform, students in the program will now be accepted by more universities around the world.
"By establishing these new partnerships with universities in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, it shows that they recognise the potential of UNSW Global students once they complete our academically-rigorous online program," Acting CEO at UNSW Global, Sarah Lightfoot says.
"We are also helping to expand our new partners' reach to a more diverse cohort of students, by bringing quality international education opportunities to students around the globe."
The 100% online program was developed by UNSW Global's academic team in partnership with OpenLearning, and is delivered on the OpenLearning platform over 16 weeks. Streams include Commerce, Actuarial Studies, Life Science, Physical Science and Design.
Students who successfully complete the Transition Program Online and meet the GPA requirements, will now be accepted by the following institutions.
· Australia
· New Zealand
· United Kingdom
More partners will be announced over the coming months.
As part of the roadmap for UNSW Global's online education programs, these new partnerships offer more flexibility and choice for international students, highlighting UNSW Global's position as a trusted institution offering rich educational opportunities around the world.
"UNSW Transition Program Online was created to give students a superior online learning experience, and the opportunity to progress to UNSW Sydney from anywhere in the world," OpenLearning CEO Adam Brimo says.
"With these new partnerships, the program will appeal to a wider range of students and provide them with more choices. This highlights how a reimagined delivery model can empower students to achieve quality learning outcomes through active learning, with high engagement, regular feedback and coaching. Our feedback from students is that they never thought online learning could be this engaging."
