At The IIE’s Varsity College, the drive to give our students and graduates
the very best in education and career start is reinforced by the meaningful
relationships we have established with our corporate and education
partners. These partners allow us to provide students with a range of
qualifications and career choices that are vocationally specific, as well as
highly credible – recognised as the best in industry-specific education both
nationally, and in some cases, internationally.
