Higher education email lists: Australia, New Zealand

Higher education email lists: Australia, New Zealand

ACUMA to open higher education email lists to public subscription

Currently available to ACUMA Incorporated member organisations only, ACUMA's daily email lists will shortly be open to public subscription.

Whilst maintaining a direct benefit to the ACUMA membership by remaining daily for members only, the public lists will provide a once-weekly digest of news items collected during each week. As with the current daily higher education news email lists, the weekly public digests will cover:
  • General higher ed news;
  • International higher ed news, and news regarding international students; and
  • Technology affecting, or with likely impact on, higher education.
As with the daily ACUMA member email lists, these public digests will, where applicable, be focussed on tertiary education in Australia and New Zealand; this is, however, by no means exclusive, as can be seen by viewing ACUMA's higher education news archives.

To register your interest in receiving one or more of the public education email lists, sign up using the ACUMA website contact page.
