After compiling the results of the 2017 Global Alumni Insights Survey, I and the whole Australian Institute of Business (AIB) team are really pleased to see the outstanding achievements of our former students.

As an organisation that strives to provide people with greater access to education, our primary focus is on student success.

I am extremely happy to see that the results of this survey are a testimony to what we have set out to achieve from the beginning - “To deliver life changing experiences”.
