What You Can Find on the Flinders University Website

Updated

The Flinders University website (flinders.edu.au) is organized around five main areas—Study, Research, Engage, Alumni, and Giving—plus audience-based entry points that route different visitors (high school students, adult entrants, international students, parents, researchers) to the content most relevant to them. Use the section that matches your goal: prospective students should start with Study, current and future researchers with Research, and community, industry, or alumni visitors with Engage, Alumni, or Giving.

Study: courses and admission pathways

The Study section is the main entry point for anyone considering enrolment. It lists study areas including Business, Computer science and information technology, Creative arts and media, Criminology, Defence and national security, Education, Engineering, Environment, Health, Humanities and social sciences, International relations and political science, Languages, Law, Medicine, Nursing and midwifery, Psychology, Science, Social work, and Sport.

Two tools help you narrow this down:

  • Find your course — a course search for locating a specific degree or field of study.
  • My Career Match — a tool that maps your interests to suggested courses.

The same section also covers Admission pathways (the routes into a degree), Apply, and Contact us. If you already know you want to apply, go straight to Admission pathways and Apply rather than browsing study areas first.

Audience-based entry points

Rather than forcing every visitor through the same menu, the site asks "I am…" and offers tailored starting points:

If you are… The site routes you toward
A high school student Study options and admission pathways
An adult entrant Entry pathways for non-school leavers
A future honours, postgraduate, research, or online student The relevant level of study
A future Indigenous student Indigenous education
An international student International study areas and international websites
A parent or school counsellor/teacher Information to support someone else's decision

International visitors also get dedicated China and Vietnam websites, which is useful if you are applying from those regions and want locally relevant information.

Research

The Research section covers Research that matters, research impact, the university's researchers, and institutes and centres. It also has an Industry Partnerships area and a Study with us / Higher degrees by research path. The same "I am…" pattern applies here: potential collaborators, researchers, potential research students, and current research students each get a directed entry point.

Engage, Alumni, and Giving

These sections serve people who are not primarily looking to enrol:

  • Engage — connect with the university, connect with students, locate a clinic, book a campus venue, find a tender, work at Flinders, participate in a research study, see what's on, shop merchandise, or register as a contractor.
  • Alumni — join or establish an alumni network, share a memory, access career services, order a transcript, update your details, find a classmate, and view benefits and services.
  • Giving — donate today (online, by post, or by phone at +61 8 8201 3721), donate to the greatest need, give in memory or celebration, leave a donation in your Will, give a cultural gift, give from overseas, or join staff workplace giving.

Related links from these areas include Industry Partnerships, Flinders New Venture Institute, Health2Go, Flinders University Museum of Art, Flinders One Sport and Fitness, and the alumni network.

Quick routing guide

  • "I want to study there" → Study → Find your course or My Career Match → Admission pathways → Apply.
  • "I'm applying from overseas" → International student entry point, then the China or Vietnam site if applicable.
  • "I want to do a PhD or collaborate" → Research → Higher degrees by research or Industry Partnerships.
  • "I'm a graduate or want to donate" → Alumni or Giving.
  • "I need a service, venue, or clinic" → Engage.

One practical note: the site is broad, so the fastest route is usually the "I am…" selector on the homepage rather than scanning the full menu. If you are unsure which category fits, start with Study—it is the most developed section and links onward to admissions and contact details.
