Group of Eight (Go8) universities are committed
to the pursuit of the highest quality research,
research training and teaching.
We recognise that unless research is seen publicly
to be conducted in accordance with the highest
standards of integrity and ethics, then the
endeavour of research itself is threatened, and
public confidence eroded. |

Learning to speak a Language Other Than English (LOTE) is increasingly important for effective participation in a globalised world.
Group of Eight universities play a vital role in the delivery and support of languages education in Australia. All 29 languages currently available at tertiary level in Australia are offered at Go8 universities.
In addition, a wide range of LOTE incentives are available both for entry to and while enrolled in programs of study at Go8 universities (see diagram in the PDF).

“If the teachers of mankind are to be cognisant of all that they ought to know, everything must be free to be written and published without restraint.”
—John Stuart Mill, On Liberty Go8 universities are dedicated to expanding knowledge through rigorous research and to disseminating the results for the benefit of the public. The validity and credibility of universities rely upon the fact that academic work is carried out in an open and independent environment, where staff are free to reveal and challenge theories, knowledge and understanding in accordance with internationally accepted scholarly norms. These norms include the examination of criticisms and new ideas by other experts in a given field.
