An engaging academic journey
Central to our teaching and learning model are small classes, encouraging innovation in both our educators and students. Our education approach is designed to be engaging, while improving understanding, individual development and, ultimately, achievement.
This includes a blend of face-to-face lectures, online lectures, online masterclasses, tutorials and academic support. When combined and used together, these teaching methodologies are collectively known as a Hybrid Teaching Model.
NewBridge Graduate Institute has campuses that are registered sites of delivery, as well as Hybrid Learning Campuses, which specialise in specific hybrid student support. Both our campuses and our Hybrid Learning Campuses utilise the Hybrid Teaching Model, ensuring that all students benefit from our engaging and modern academic approach.
