The Best Teachers
University reputations are made on the quality of teaching staff. We believe the ability to connect with, communicate with and inspire students is a teaching quality as valuable as academic and professional achievement. We want to inspire our students to achieve at the highest possible level. So you will find Flinders offers a learning environment that is innovative, supportive and offers a global perspective.
Many of our teaching staff have received awards, not only for contribution to their fields of knowledge, but also for their quality of teaching. And they share this intellectual and cultural curiosity with their students.
In 2008, two of our staff became the first and only overseas recipients of a Senior Fellowship from the UK's Higher Education Academy. While in 2004 and in 2006, we were honoured with the Prime Minister's Award for Australian University Teacher of the Year.

Study Abroad opportunities allow you to live in a new city, enhance your career prospects, provide the opportunity for personal development, experience a different culture and meet new people without interrupting your studies or your career path. You can spend a semester or a whole year at Flinders University and earn credit towards a degree in your own country. You can start your studies in either the first semester (March to June) or second semester (July to November), although if you are intending to come for a full year we suggest you start in semester one to give yourself a great choice of topics. When you're not studying you can relax on our many beaches, visit the Australian outback, or meet the wildlife.
