The Australia Institute of Future Education (AIFE) is a leading global provider of high quality professional development in higher education. AIFE courses are principally developed and delivered to university academic staff, to assist them in achieving their career potential and, in turn, contribute to the success of their employing universities in their quest to achieve recognition and success in the world of international higher education.
Market research and analysis has shown a continuous and significant rise in the take-up of higher education by students across the world, and in particular, the greater Asian region. This reflects a response to expanding aspirations of millions of students, particularly within Asian communities, as their national economies continue to evolve and expand.
An outcome of this growth is a substantial increase in demand for quality academic staff in order to meet both resourcing requirements, as well as the increasing expectations of students for high quality education experiences and outcomes.
Additionally, universities and other education institutions are seeking to enhance their reputations as high quality and globally oriented education and research providers, and so are focused on sourcing and developing excellence in their staff.
These combined circumstances have led to AIFE developing and delivering a select offering of higher education courses, which provide university employers with the pathway to enhance the quality and outcomes of their academic teaching and research and hence, student success.
AIFE’s professional development courses will enhance the knowledge, skills and capability of staff, thereby also enhancing the quality of the research and teaching reputation of their employing university.
AIFE is committed to ensuring that students from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds are encouraged to participate in AIFE courses on an equitable basis. AIFE’s policies and procedures concerning student equity and diversity are specifically framed toward these outcomes.
