We are a dynamic and fast growing Australian Higher Education institution. We specialise in the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in Business and Information Technology, with an accompanying suite of university pathway diplomas. Our courses are delivered with an emphasis on personalised service and care, by our highly qualified and professionally experienced academic body. In early 2010, MIT was acknowledged for high-quality courses, and commended for its student-focused practice in teaching and learning by the Australian Universities Quality Agency. To improve even further on this achievement, we have recently put into place enhanced governance and academic decision making processes to ensure that the education we provide to you is superior and reinforces our motto of ‘Practical Excellence’. We acquired the iconic Argus site in the heart of Melbourne in 2010, which is now being converted into a world class teaching and learning facility. It will provide a head campus for MIT equal to the best in Australia. As an MIT student you have access to a wide range of free support services that can help you realise your potential. These services include personal counselling and support, peer-to-peer academic mentoring, study skills workshops, and career counselling. You also have access to our Internship Program, designed to bridge the gap between academic studies and the workforce and to provide you with real workplace experience. Over the years we have built a first class reputation for producing graduates who are ‘job ready’, and professionally qualified to begin rewarding careers in their chosen field. I wish you every success in your studies and I hope to welcome you to the MIT community. Shesh Ghale Chief Executive Officer Established in the mid-nineties – MIT is one of Australia’s leading private Higher Education Institutions focusing on issues and challenges confronted by students from diverse backgrounds. MIT offers first class facilities, caring teachers, smaller class sizes, and comprehensive student support and career development services. MIT provides relevant, high quality, and professionally accredited courses in the focused areas of Business and Information Technology, at university pathway, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Since its inception, MIT has grown from strength to strength in both its size and standing. I hope I will be able to help MIT to ultimately become a University College. In keeping with its mission to become a University College, MIT has established the Higher Education Governing Council (HEGC) and the Academic Board – comprising mostly of external, independent members who are highly regarded in their field. These boards are responsible for establishing policies, guidelines and practices that represent best practice in Universities and other institutions of higher education. The caring, personalised help and supportive environment at MIT, together with the dedicated and committed academic and general staff mean that MIT is something of a “personal trainer” to each of its students. I hope I shall have the opportunity of welcoming you to the MIT family. Good luck with your studies. Professor John Rickard Chair, HEGC 1 P R A C TI C AL E XCE LLE N CE Why choose MIT?

This gives you an option to complete your degree faster than conventional semester systems at other universities. This can save you time and put you ahead of your peers in the employment market.
