Professor Karen Reynolds, Director, Medical Device Partnering Program Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor

Cutting-edge medical devices aren’t created by the stereotypical lone engineer working in isolation in a research laboratory – at least not at Flinders.

The University is bringing the best minds together to create tomorrow’s biomedical solutions today through the Medical Device Partnering Program (MDPP).

Established in 2008 by Professor Karen Reynolds, the MDPP aims to form links between industry, researchers and health professionals. The Partnering Program has been funded by the South Australian Government since its inception, which has seen the majority of activity involving local organisations, but there has in recent times been a steady increase in interstate companies coming to utilise the service.

“Bringing together researchers, industry and medical teams from the start enables the Medical Device Partnering Program to deliver solutions quickly and creatively,” Professor Reynolds said.

“Our projects run for around 250 hours. While this might not seem like a long time, it gives the team long enough to learn whether they can work productively together and also see whether there are opportunities in the near future to continue the working relationships.”

The unique program has led to many new products hitting the market, ranging from Austofix’s Ezy-Aim Electronic Distal Targeting System (an orthopaedic device which removes the need for multiple X-rays when fixing bone fractures) to INNOVO Healthcare’s U Stand Frame (a lightweight, portable frame to help patients move from a sit-to-stand position).

“Working closely with end-users and clinicians we are able to respond to industry-driven problems, fast-forwarding the R&D process.”

Engineering life-changing devices takes teamwork.

This island continent we call home presents unique challenges for defence.

It brings into play land, sea and air technology and puts this technology into situations where second best simply isn’t good enough.

Flinders is at the frontline of defence-oriented research and development in a myriad of different ways across our campuses.

Imagine a day very soon when we have unmanned warships patrolling our 132,000 kilometres of coastline. We are developing that capability now.

Our robotics team is making new advances that could keep our soldiers out of harm’s way, our fibre optics technology is revolutionising battlefield communications, our engineers are evolving ways to enhance body mechanics to ensure our military personnel are at peak performance levels…we are even looking at making munitions and explosives more stable for longer.

Immersing ourselves in defence: making a difference.

We’re deep into defence technology.

ADMISSION PATHWAYS

At Flinders we recognise that every prospective student is an individual and that what works for one might not be right for another.

That’s why we provide various admission pathways into Flinders University and your preferred degree. You’re encouraged to explore your options and find the entry path that’s right for you.

Year 12 entry

The majority of Year 12 applicants enter university via the traditional competitive entry method, where offers are made to eligible applicants with the highest selection rank until all places in the degree are filled. Your selection rank is used by Flinders to assess your admission to a course, and is based on your ATAR plus any adjustment factors for which you are eligible. The 2018 selection rank shown for each degree indicates the lowest rank for which an offer was made to an applicant in that degree for that year (including any adjustment factors). It is provided only as a guide for 2019 entry as it may change from year to year.

Adjustment factors

Adjustment factors (formerly referred to as bonus points) may be used in combination with your ATAR to derive your course selection rank. Adjustment factors may be available for South Australian Year 12 students applying for entry to Flinders in 2019: the SA Universities Equity Scheme (UES) and the SA Language, Literacy and Mathematics Bonus Scheme (LLM).

Guaranteed entry selection rank

Achieve a selection rank equal to or above the published guaranteed entry selection rank and you’ll be guaranteed a place at Flinders. All you need to do is ensure you have listed Flinders degrees first in your preferences and you will be offered a place in the highest Flinders degree preference that you are eligible for in 2019.

uniTEST

If you’re a school leaver, uniTEST is your chance to increase your options to gain a place in your preferred degree. uniTEST is designed for school leavers and complements existing selection criteria by enhancing your overall selection rank.

Flinders UniLeap

Flinders UniLeap can help you qualify for entry into a Flinders University degree in four weeks. It’s a free intensive four-week program that has been designed for school leavers, to develop their independent learning skills and prepare them for university study.

Foundation Studies

The Foundation Studies program has been designed to introduce you to university study in a supportive learning environment. Open to people from all backgrounds, Foundation Studies provides a pathway to gain entry to most degrees at Flinders and offers guaranteed entry into some degrees.

TAFElink

Flinders offers guaranteed entry to selected degrees for applicants who have completed a TAFE/VET certificate IV or higher-level qualification, as long as degree prerequisites are met. Importantly, your TAFE/VET qualification does not need to be related to your selected area of study at Flinders.

TAFE SA dual offers

You can apply for a TAFE SA# diploma or advanced diploma that is linked to a Flinders degree. You’ll receive an offer to both TAFE SA and Flinders University and, on successful completion of the TAFE course, you’ll have secured an offer for a Flinders degree. TAFE SA dual offers are available for a range of Flinders degrees.# TAFE SA RTO Code: 41026

Adult entry

The adult entry scheme enables people aged 18 years and over to apply to study at Flinders via the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT). Applications are made via SATAC.

Tertiary transfer

If you have completed at least one semester of full-time equivalent study at university, you may be able to transfer to study at Flinders University using your grade point average (GPA).

BACHELOR OF GENERAL STUDIES

The Bachelor of General Studies is a flexible degree that provides a sound basis of knowledge in an area of your choice. It is designed to prepare you with communication skills, a firm grasp of ethics, and the confidence to make connections across geographical, disciplinary, social and cultural boundaries. Successful completion of the first year to the required standard also provides you with guaranteed entry into a range of our degrees.

GET MORE OUT OF YOUR DEGREE

Whatever you’re studying, Flinders gives you the opportunity to do more with your degree, giving you a competitive edge with a minimum of extra time spent studying.

Combined degrees

A combined degree is a combination of two Flinders bachelor degrees. As a combined degree graduate you will have two qualifications in just one to one-and-a-half years of extra study.

Our combined degree programs are designed to enhance your educational, academic and professional qualifications while minimising the cost and length of your studies. Flinders combined degrees allow you to undertake in-depth study in exciting combinations that aren’t usually available in single degrees. Many graduates believe that a combined degree gives them an advantage for employment.

Bachelor of Letters

The Bachelor of Letters is available to study alongside any degree at Flinders and enables you to graduate with two qualifications.

The Bachelor of Letters is available in the following disciplines:• Creative writing• Criminology (online)• English• French• Health• Indonesian• Innovation and enterprise• Italian• Mathematics• Modern Greek• Spanish• Sports performance coaching.

The Bachelor of Letters is normally undertaken part-time over three years to allow concurrent study with your primary bachelor degree, adding one year to your overall study program.

WHEN CAN I START?

Flinders offers two admissions cycles each year for undergraduate degrees.

Semester 1 – February start. Applications open in August for commencement the following year.

Semester 2* – July start. Mid-year applications open in August for commencement in July the following year.
