About the university

Academies Australasia Polytechnic (AAPoly) is a private higher education and vocational provider owned by the ASX-listed Academies Australasia Group. It was founded in 2002 and has been an Institute of Higher Education since July 2021. It teaches in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth and offers courses for international and domestic students.

Its degrees are a Master of Information Technology, a Bachelor of Information Technology, a Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management and three Bachelor of Business majors (Cyber Security, Digital Marketing, and Leadership and Management). The Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management and the Master of IT are its largest courses. Course pages show a single 'cost' (for example A$40,000 for the four-semester Master of IT and A$60,000 for the six-semester Bachelor of Business (Cyber Security) and Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management) but do not say whether this is the yearly or total fee, so we do not list course fees. Ask AAPoly for its international fee schedule.
