Good morning. I have spoken previously about the changing higher education environment and how UWA must continue to adapt as we strive to be counted among the top 50 universities worldwide. One way we are doing this is by embracing emerging technologies like Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), and next week UWA will begin offering its third MOOC, Psychology at Work, through Coursera. These courses build awareness of UWA internationally and provide students with a new kind of learning experience.

You would have seen last night that the Federal Government handed down its budget – the last before the next election. You can read more about what it means for us below.

Sincerely,
Professor Paul Johnson
Vice-Chancellor
