We have attracted students from over 100 countries and our alumni have built careers and lives that enrich communities across Australia and throughout the world. Flinders' achievements are underpinned by the network of strong external links that we have developed with our stakeholders and with the communities we serve. We commit to being a university that is outwardly engaged, continuing to build the supportive and valued relationships which will be vital for the future.Flinders has a record of excellence and innovation in teaching, research and community engagement.

Our touchstone is that university life should be enjoyable and enriching for Australian and international students and the campus should be a stimulating place to work.
