The following is a media release issued by Australian Minister for Education Julia Gillard on 22 August, 2008:
New online directory of offshore Australian higher education
A new online central directory will enable international students to find information on Australian higher education courses being offered in their country.
The Minister for Education, Julia Gillard, welcomed the release of AusLIST, an evolving online directory of Australian providers and the courses they deliver overseas.
AusLIST will expand progressively as institutions submit information to the directory for listing, enabling prospective students to identify locations and types of courses offered.
Institutions that choose to be on AusLIST commit to provide education and training in other countries to a standard comparable to the courses they deliver in Australia.
The Australian Government is committed to ensuring the high quality and integrity of Australian education and training, regardless of where in the world it is delivered.
Australian providers now deliver courses ranging from Certificate III to doctorates in Singapore, China, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and beyond.
Many of the nation’s higher education institutions continue to develop campuses overseas, either individually or in partnership with local providers.
The number of international students studying at offshore Australian institutions has increased considerably in recent years, with over 100 000 students currently enrolled.
AusLIST is an important element of the Transnational Quality Strategy (TQS), which was agreed upon by ministers of education across Australia in 2005.
All Australian providers delivering education and training courses in other countries are encouraged to apply for inclusion on AusLIST.
AusLIST is available at:http://www.auslist.deewr.gov.au/
Information on how to apply and eligibility criteria are at: www.transnational.deewr.gov.au/AusLIST
