LEARN ONLINE

Visit our online offerings tab to view all of our fully online offerings.

Studying online has a number of advantages. You don’t need to travel to classes and all learning and assignments are completed online, giving you the flexibility to study when it best suits your schedule. Through online study, you can better balance work, studies, and other responsibilities. Once enrolled, as long as you have a stable internet connection, you will be able to access your course at any time via your digital device.

The thought of studying online can sometimes seem lonely. Our online offerings, however, are designed to be a highly interactive learning environment. You will be able to share your perspective and engage in topical discussions with other students. We have also designed the content in such a way that enables you to engage with lecturers and know that you will always be able to call on them for any support you may need.

With six start dates a year, our online offerings give you the opportunity to start the course at a time in the year that is convenient for you, which differs from traditional academic years that primarily offer only two semesters or enrolment periods per year.
