Our smart, interactive learning environment delivers content to you in all sorts of ways including video, audio and hands-on practical exercises, and suits a variety of learning types.

Your Student Success Advisor will:

  • Discuss your career goals to make sure you’ve chosen the right course
  • Help to prepare your application documents and provides step-by-step guidance through the process
  • Assist with planning your study schedule for success
  • Answer any questions you have throughout your study journey via phone, email and live webchat.

 


Six study periods a year to fast-track your learning

Offering six study periods per year, each of our units is studied across a seven-week period. This model allows you to study up to six units per year, fast-tracking your learning, to then be able to get your Masters in as little as two years part-time.

  • Enrol at a time that suits you – start studying online in any of our study periods (February, April, July, September, October or December)
  • Focus on one unit at a time to consolidate your learning
  • Study up to six units per year and graduate sooner
  • Tailor your study schedule to suit your lifestyle—if you know things are getting busy at work next month, you can sit that study period out.
