The Flinders University YouTube Channel is our official YouTube Channel.
The Channel is managed by the Marketing and Communications Office and its focus is on:
- Prospective student attraction content – course related content and student work (with a focus on areas identified in the Operational Plan), the student experience (study, student life).
- Media and corporate content – Flinders University produced news stories, media clips, recordings of key events.
Video content
As we further develop our online video capabilities, we’re looking at meeting the following best practice content guidelines for YouTube videos:
- Videos should have clear purpose and target audience.
- Video footage should be short and fast paced.
- The end of a video should include a call to action (or at least web address).
- Contact information for the media should be provided.
Note: We will not accept video content that may reflect negatively or compromise Flinders University standing in the higher education sector.
