IHM ACHIEVES EXCEPTIONAL RANKINGS IN THE 2024 QILT SURVEY STANDING PROUDLY AMONG AUSTRALIA’S TOP UNIVERSITIES

The Institute of Health & Management (IHM) has achieved outstanding results in the 2024 Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) student experience survey, positioning itself as the only Higher Education Provider ranking alongside major Australian universities in the Postgraduate Nursing category.

These results reaffirm IHM’s commitment to delivering student-centred, industry-focused, high-quality nursing education for domestic and international learners.

Based on data published on ComparED site funded by Department of Education and powered by the QILT survey data, IHM’s performance reflects strong student satisfaction across key learning and teaching indicators.

What is QILT?

It covers key areas such as Teaching Quality, Skills Development, Student Support, Learning Resources, and Quality of Educational Experience. The rankings provide prospective students with valuable insights, helping them choose institutions that best align with their academic and career goals.
