Swineburne University of Technology will expand online degrees in a marketing deal with internet recruiter Seek designed to capitalise on galloping demand by off-campus students. Swinburne Direct, a 50-50 joint venture with an initial $10 million investment, hopes to enrol a first intake next year of 2000 students, typically working and from across the country. “The goal is to offer as many of our Swinburne programs as possible through this new vehicle,” deputy vice-chancellor (academic) Shirley Leitch said. Swinburne’s vice-chancellor Ian Young said the university was on its way “to become the pre-eminent online learning provider in Australia”.
