Strategic alliances

Carnegie Mellon University

Flinders University, Carnegie Mellon University, from Pittsburgh USA and the State of South Australia signed a three-way agreement in 2005, confirming a significant new partnership.

Flinders Institute of Public Policy and Management and the Carnegie Mellon John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management will collaborate in their postgraduate courses and research to bring benefits to students and staff and to the State.

TAFE SA

Flinders University and TAFE SA have entered into a further five-year period of close cooperation to maintain and extend flexible study options for South Australians thanks to a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two institutions.

The new MOU will continue the formal agreement between Flinders and TAFE SA that covers cooperation across areas such as credit transfer, program delivery, research and development, marketing, strategic planning and professional development.
