THEY SAY GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE.

WE SAY THE GREATEST ONES DON’T.

They say know your place. We say you’ve found it right here.

Flinders University was founded on the belief that learning should open minds, celebrate individuality and give people the freedom to pursue their own point of view. That spirit lives on in our community of thinkers, doers and changemakers who challenge convention, and each other, to shape what comes next.
