Why partner with Open Universities Australia?
Open Universities Australia (OUA) invites you and your university to be part of Australia’s most recognised higher education marketplace. Since forming in 1993, we’ve supported over half a million students to find the best program for their needs with our 26 university partners across the country. Here’s how:
