We live in a fast-paced and ever-changing world. That’s why Western Sydney University consults with business and industry to develop postgraduate programs that respond to the challenges of a global workplace – with a focus on practical skills, critical thinking and professional accreditation so you graduate with marketable qualifications. We also offer you flexible study options, with variable entry and exit points, to suit your work and life commitments.

With a focus on equipping our graduates to be workplace ready, our curriculum reflects the needs of the world we live in. We acknowledge that in today’s changing world universities don’t have the monopoly on knowledge or education. In pioneering a model of co-created learning that treats our strategic partners as co-creators in education, we work with business and industry leaders to develop course content that meets the needs of employers, the jobs of the future and responds to the challenges of a global workplace.

Our approach recognises that learning doesn’t just happen in the classroom. Instead, we offer a combination of on-campus, online and clinical learning environments, with real-life work experience in professional and community settings.
