Further Your Career with a Recognised Australian Degree

Australian education is consistently ranked as one of the top systems in the world. With an Australian degree qualification you can pursue opportunities in countries all over the world.

Work at Your Own Pace - In Your Own Time

At the Institute of Technology Australia you can fit study in with your life, not the other way around. Obtain your qualifications without the pressure of attending set lectures and tailor your study program to suit your other commitments. You can do one subject at a time, or two or even four. IOTA gives you the flexibility to design your study to suit the life you want.

Everything You Need, Online

Attending class at The Institute of Technology Australia is as simple as logging onto our online learning hub with your password details. This is where you’ll find study materials, submit assignments, discuss subject content with other students, and communicate with our Australian academic team who will mark your assignments and provide excellent teaching support. We’ll also arrange full access to ProQuest’s comprehensive library of online journals and e-books to help you do your research (the same library used by Harvard Business School). This is called an online collaborative learning environment and IOTA is leading the world in the quality of our courses and our model.

Stay Motivated to Finish Your Degree

When you study online with IOTA you are a person not a log-in code. As soon as you sign up to any of our units you are assigned an Australian Unit Coordinator. Your coordinator will track your progress, support your experience and coordinate your learning. They’ll mark your assignments and keep in regular touch with you and the other students in your class. Using an online communication tool you can interact by asking questions, posting comments and volunteering your own opinions - as if you were in class!

Study Overseas at Our Study Support Centres

Like the idea of travelling overseas to study? IOTA has affiliations with Study Support Centres around the world. These centres give IOTA students the opportunity to meet other students and continue your study uninterrupted in another country. See our list of Study Support Centres.

Pay Reduced Fees - as You Go

Because we offer online courses and don’t face the operating costs associated with running a main campus, our subject prices are considerably lower than traditional universities’. We also believe that the cost of study shouldn’t limit your lifestyle - so rather than paying for the whole year up-front you only have to pay for the number of subjects you’re studying at any one time. Learn more about our course pricing.

Get Real World Experience Before You Graduate

Studying is a wonderful career advantage - but so is first-hand experience. To help you gain both, we include a real-life ‘focus task’ in each of our 12 weekly sessions that make up one subject (or unit). These tasks help you become familiar with the concepts and inside knowledge associated with your chosen industry, giving you a keen advantage before you graduate.

Mix With Students Across the Globe

Our online classrooms are meeting places for students from all around the world. Your study - and potentially job network - will be expanded in a contemporary way that meets the pace of the 21st century.
