Australia’s RMIT Joins More Than 20 International
Universities in Adopting Apple Curriculum
Apple® today announced the global expansion of its Everyone Can
Code initiative to more than 20 colleges and universities outside
of the US. These schools will now offer the App Development with
Swift Curriculum, a full-year course designed by Apple engineers
and educators to teach coding and app design to students of all
levels and backgrounds. Now hundreds of thousands of students from
around the world gain the opportunity to become proficient in the
Swift™ programming language and build the fundamental skills they
need to pursue careers in the booming app economy.
RMIT University, Australia’s largest higher education
institution, is one of the broadest international deployments of
the App Development with Swift Curriculum to date. As part of its
commitment to improving digital literacy, starting this month RMIT
will offer the App Development with Swift curriculum through RMIT
Online, and a new vocational course will be taught on campus.
RMIT will also offer scholarships for school teachers who want to
learn coding, and a free summer school course at RMIT’s City
campus will give secondary students the chance to learn the basics
of coding.
RMIT joins more than 20 international universities who are also
offering the curriculum to students this year, including Mercantec
in Denmark, Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen in the Netherlands,
Unitec Institute of Technology in New Zealand and Plymouth
University in the UK.
“We launched the Everyone Can Code initiative less than a year
ago with the ambitious goal of offering instruction in coding to as
many people as possible. Our program has been incredibly
popular among US schools and colleges, and today marks an important
step forward as we expand internationally,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s
CEO. “We are proud to work with RMIT and many other schools
around the world who share our vision of empowering students with
tools that can help them change the world.”
“App Development with Swift will play a crucial role in helping
RMIT’s students use their creativity and entrepreneurship to
prepare for success in the 21st century workforce,” said Martin
Bean CBE, RMIT University vice chancellor and president. “These are
the sort of skills Australians need for the jobs of
the future, and we’re thrilled to work with Apple to deliver
this important curriculum.”
“I’m so excited to have the chance to begin learning with
Apple’s App Development curriculum, and for the opportunities it
could open for my future,” said Tenisha Fernando, fourth year RMIT
student. “The Swift programming language is used by developers to
create some of the world’s best apps, and it would be great to
join them in sharing my own ideas.”
App Store® customers have now downloaded more than 180 billion
apps and Apple has paid out over $70 billion to developers since
the store launched in 2008, making it the most vibrant software
marketplace in the world. More than 500 million unique customers
from 155 countries visit the App Store every week.
