The partnering of Billy Blue and APM to Torrens University means students will now graduate with a university degree, providing greater recognition for skills and greater opportunity for employment in Australia as well as overseas. With over 180 years of combined history, Think colleges share a common heritage. At the core of Think’s approach is our four promises; everyone has a job they love, everyone chooses how and where they learn, everyone has an edge and everyone can change their world. At Think Education, we challenge the myopic and stereotypical thinking of the traditional education system, and rebuild it to suit students and their futures. We believe in delivering an experience that empowers resilience, confidence and curiosity, where heads and hearts are aligned, instinctively bringing our students’ talents and abilities to life. We place equal value on theory and practice. We ensure our students are trained in the real world skills they need for success. And we give everyone a platform to change their world. The education revolution starts here. HERE FOR GOOD Throughout Laureate’s history, we have remained true to the compass that guides us – our mission to make higher education accessible and affordable so our students can pursue their dreams. Discover the stories of Laureate students and alumni who are building powerful solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing their countries, and the world.
