Want to acquire knowledge
quickly as well as skills that
can be transferred to the
workplace
Less traditional
Leading busy lives, often
with family and work
responsibilities outside of
the demands of school

university experience will:

• Be supported and enhanced by technology
• Focus on application and transferable skills
rather than just acquiring knowledge
