Torrens is Australia’s newest and fastest growing university. Launching in 2014 with 160 students, it now has almost 20,000.

In this episode of Disrupting The Degree, we try to understand how a new university can grow so quickly in such a competitive market. To do this, we’re joined by Bryce Ives, Vice President, Communications and Public Affairs for Torrens. We talk about Torrens’ business model, marketing strategy and values.

Bryce explains how they provide a high-quality hybrid approach to online and campus-based education. He talks about how profit and purpose can go hand in hand and that students choose how, what and where they want to study.
