Welcome to Kingsford Institute of Higher Education

As a leading force in technology-enabled education in Australia, our Institute for Higher Education stands committed to delivering an exceptional and forward-looking learning experience for every student.

Our History

Founded by a group of highly successful tertiary education entrepreneurs and led by a vastly experienced commercial and academic team, KIHE was established with the vision of being a transformative force in IT education both nationally and internationally. Our mission is to empower our students with a distinctive blend of academic and technical skills that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. We’re dedicated to fostering a synergistic relationship between the future’s technology innovators and industry leaders.

Our Vision

KIHE will be a national leading Institute of Higher Education.

KIHE will be recognised as an empowering learning community. We will embrace a transformational philosophy and rationale, enabling students and colleagues to pursue life-enhancing outcomes through their studies and professional work. Our culture will be positively professional. Students and staff will benefit from supportive structures and systems.

KIHE’s graduates will contribute to life and work consciously, creatively, collaboratively, competently, and compassionately.
