Contents

 

The Faculty of Arts provides consultancy and customised training programs to address the research and training needs of partner organisations across a diverse range of subjects.

These services may include:

  • consultancy work with partner organisations
  • design of new customised training programs in response to industry-specific demands or challenges
  • adaptation of specific subjects for industry partners or inclusion of industry cohorts into existing professional teaching programs of the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences.

 

Consultancy

The Faculty works with Melbourne Consulting and Custom Programs to provide consultancy services that address particular training and analysis needs of organisations.

Recent examples include:

  • delivery of specialised, short-term academic and cultural programs for international student groups through the Australia Centre, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies
  • the Melbourne Centre for Criminological Research Evaluation, which undertook an evaluation of the Neighbourhood Justice Centre for the Victoria State Government (Department of Justice).

 

Customised training programs

The faculty works with Melbourne Consulting and Customised Programs to deliver consultancy and professional education services.

Recent examples include:

    This expert program combines theory and practice of photographic materials conservation.

The Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation, a joint initiative of the Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science and the Ian Potter Museum of Art, leads these programs.

Industry Cohorts

Industry partners may wish to enrol cohorts of staff into existing programs of the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences, providing rigorous and professionally-oriented training. Most Graduate School programs can be undertaken on a part-time basis.

Many employers choose to sponsor staff to study individual subjects through the Community Access Program (CAP). Subjects may be undertaken from across more than 45 discipline areas, including a number of graduate subjects.

For industry partners with particular training needs, the Faculty may be able to customise existing subjects and training programs to suit.

To discuss how consultancies and customised teaching programs might be used to the benefit of your organisation, please contact the Faculty Partnerships Office.
