Open University Australia

At Open Universities Australia, we believe quality education should be available to everyone, from anywhere, regardless of previous study experience. Originally founded in 1993 as Open Learning Australia, we’ve stayed true to our core belief that education has the power to transform lives and should be accessible to all. We want to empower students with more choice and the guidance to find the best fit.

We’re committed to helping you find the right fit for you, so you can succeed on your study journey. Enrolling with us and studying online with your chosen university means you don’t have to worry about entry requirements, set times or distance. You can study anywhere, anytime, at a pace that suits your lifestyle.

Our online enrolment makes it easy for you to take the first step and start studying in any of the multiple study terms. You can choose to study a single subject to upskill in a specific area, or study towards a full degree. When you complete a degree with your chosen uni, you’ll graduate with the same qualification as an on-campus student. Through our university partnerships, you can access real degrees from real unis in the one place. We’re here to help you achieve your goals, so think of us as a lifelong learning partner.

As Open Learning Australia, we’ve been leading distance education since 1993. In 2004, we continued our pioneering path of innovation and expansion to become Open Universities Australia. We’ve continued to evolve from where we started and are passionate leaders in online higher education. We’re committed to helping you succeed on your study journey and recognise the need for flexible higher education. Our goal is to provide options and guidance to find the best study fit for your lifestyle.

We make studying at university possible for everyone. By offering single subjects and full degrees with full government funding, regardless of previous education, we can help you get started at university or return to uni study and reach your education goals. We are the destination for online higher education. Our unique partnerships with leading Australian universities provide you with more choice, easier access and added flexibility to study on your terms.
