Flinders University defines University-wide graduate outcomes as listed on https://students.flinders.edu.au/my-course/graduate-qualities .
Two of the Graduate Qualities are related to ethical, inclusive and culturally sensitive learning outcomes.
- We expect our students to act with integrity in all matters. We also expect them to become aware of the ethical complexities and implications of various issues that can arise within their field of study, and to appreciate the need for themselves and others to act ethically and to learn how to arrive at ethical solutions to problems.
- We expect our students to engage positively with people and ideas beyond the limits of their own geographical, disciplinary, social, cultural or other boundaries, and to span the boundary between the world of study and the world of work.
