Our Method

As Australia’s business school, by industry, for industry, Chifley Business School specialises in meeting the business and management education needs of professionals in engineering, science, technology and related careers and the enterprises that employ them.

Our programs are prepared and delivered at highest standards of quality, and remain responsive and relevant to professional and industry needs.

'By Industry. For Industry. In Industry' Approach

As we teach professionals and in industry, so do we learn. We develop and customise our programs through active consultation with the professionals who participate in our courses, with our corporate clients and with our industry-based partners. We draw on their knowledge, feedback, experience and expertise to ensure our programs reflect real-world requirements. We also utilise:

• Evaluations and surveys
• Online discussion forums on current topics
• Business focus groups
• Industry-based curriculum committees

Our active listening seeks to capture industry and professional knowledge on a continuous basis—driven by demand.

Our approach is further illustrated in the diagram below.
