About the university

The Institute of International Studies (TIIS) is a small private higher education provider founded in 2015, with campuses in Ultimo, Sydney, and Docklands, Melbourne. It teaches business, accounting, IT and cyber security: a Bachelor of Business, a Bachelor of Information Technology, graduate certificates, an MBA, a Master of Professional Accounting (Advanced) and a Master of Cyber Security. It is registered on CRICOS, so it can teach students on a Student visa.

Indian students look at TIIS for its accounting master's, which leads to eligibility for CPA Australia, CAANZ and ACCA membership, and for its six intakes a year. TIIS does not publish fees on its course pages: they ask you to email admissions, and fees are set out in a 2026 tuition fee schedule (PDF) and your Letter of Offer, plus a A$300 enrolment fee.
