This Strategic Plan (2018-2022), builds on our achievements from our previous Strategic Plan (2015-2017), with particular emphasis on innovative and practical educational programs, an inclusive, service-oriented culture, and improved outcomes for our students. We will support these goals with cutting-edge technologies, support for our staff, and strong interactions with industry and alumni.

Our fundamental mission, vision, and values remain the same, but as our Strategic Plan (2018-2022) is a dynamic document, its priorities will be reviewed annually and will be modified as required, including modifications to align with changes in governmental regulations and market conditions. We will also use an in-depth approach to implement the plan and to evaluate progress against it.

Federation University is a modern university, which was first established in 1870, as the School of Mines, Ballarat, making it the third-oldest tertiary institution in Australia.

With more than 145 years of tradition and excellence, the Fed continues to serve its students whether they wish to advance their current knowledge, or pursue a completely different career.

One of Fed's values is ‘excellence through effort’; this applies not only to our students but to Fed as a whole. With a growing reputation for sound, relevant research by our academics, this added knowledge is passed on to all Fed students, whatever course they undertake.

MIT offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs at its Melbourne and Sydney campuses in association with the Fed.

The partnership between the Fed and MIT involves the Fed controlling the quality of the courses and conferring the qualifications, whilst MIT provides the facilities, lecturers, tutors, and student services. All academic staff at MIT are approved to teach by the Fed.
