About Open Universities Australia
Open Universities Australia (OUA) was founded in 1993 as Open Learning Australia and adopted its current name in 2004. It is a not-for-profit platform connecting learners with online higher education from Australian partner universities, rather than the teaching university for those courses. Its catalogue includes short courses, standalone subjects and undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications. Student advisors help learners choose courses and navigate enrolment at no charge for OUA's services. Selected undergraduate degrees offer entry pathways through successful completion of two to four specified subjects, without requiring an ATAR to begin the pathway. Students complete coursework through their chosen university's learning management system, while OUA supports enrolment administration and access to results through its Student Hub. Study-load flexibility and available start dates depend on the selected course and university.
