Teaching quality

EIT's lecturers are industry experts and experienced engineers who bring practical knowledge into the classroom. They share their expertise to prepare students for real-world workplace challenges. Carefully selected from around the globe, EIT lecturers are accessible for support through classroom sessions, phone, Skype, or email.

With small class sizes, students can easily connect with both their peers and lecturers, fostering a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged.

Course coordinators provide ongoing academic guidance throughout students' study journey. Additional support is available for mathematics and English language skills to help students enhance their communication abilities.

Student support

Learning Support Officers (LSOs) provide dedicated guidance to EIT students throughout their studies. For higher education programs, each student is assigned one committed LSO per unit of study.

Students enrolled in vocational programs, such as graduate certificates, professional certificates, diplomas, or advanced diplomas receive continuous support from a dedicated LSO throughout their time at EIT.

The EIT Student Services Team creates a supportive learning environment for on-campus students, encouraging them to share any personal support needs before or during their studies. When necessary, students are also referred to external support services.

Each semester, EIT hosts an orientation for new students to help them settle in, connect with peers, explore the campus, and learn about available student services.

Students receive a pre-departure handbook with essential information for living and studying in Australia, along with free advice on suitable accommodation options.
