Accreditation 30 June 2017

Renewal of course accreditation

Report on renewal of accreditation of two higher education courses of study offered by Melbourne Institute of Technology

A delegate of TEQSA has renewed the accreditation, under section 56 of the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Act 2011 (the TEQSA Act), of the following higher education courses of study offered by Melbourne Institute of Technology for a period of seven years until 30 June 2024:

• Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Telecommunications)
• Master of Engineering (Telecommunications)

The course accreditation covers delivery at all Australian sites.

Main Reasons for the Decision

TEQSA has determined that the two higher education courses of study submitted by Melbourne Institute of Technology for accreditation comply with the Provider Course Accreditation Standards. The course accreditation covers delivery at all Australian sites.

The Delegate noted that although the courses of study were accredited without conditions, risks have been identified in relation to student attrition and progression.

The Delegate considered that these risks were adequately dealt with by the imposition of conditions on Melbourne Institute of Technology's registration as a higher education provider which can be viewed on the National Register.
