Institute of Innovation, Science and Sustainability (International)

Thinking outside the square (and the rhombus)

The Institute of Innovation, Science & Sustainability (IISS) is all about new ideas. Breakthroughs. Inventing new products and new ways of doing things. You’ve got an inquisitive mind – that’s why you’ve joined us. We’ll help you find answers and grow your knowledge. We’ll also send you out into the field to get hands-on experience in your chosen discipline, whether that’s engineering, science, IT or business.

IISS nurtures your curiosity. IISS is your institute.

Your compulsory International Orientation schedule

We want you to feel right at home here, so we're running an extra orientation day just for you. Yes, you do have to attend, but no, we won't make you eat Vegemite (unless you want to). During registration students will be allocated to a group (A or B) and given specific Orientation schedules (which will include an information session, free lunch and enrolment session). We'd love to see you at the general Mt Helen Orientation as well (see below).

Academic Skills Day

Starting uni can be daunting. The research. The essays and reports. The online systems. We get it. That's why we're running Academic Skills Day during Orientation.

You'll get to practise all kinds of basic academic skills. Yes – practise. Not hear about. This is a hands-on session. And there's free food.

When: Friday 1 March, 10 am to 3 pm
