Study Options
Flexible study options to suit your needs:
Full-time
Full-time degree students can graduate in two years. This represents a considerable time saving compared to a traditional university option. Further, Advanced Diploma students graduate in 12 months, and Diploma students in as little as 13 weeks.
Part-time
Part-time students can graduate with a university equivalent degree in four years. Diploma students can graduate in just 12 months.
Flexible and Online Learning (Distance Education)
Distance learning offers flexible time frames which can be tailored to suit your own lifestyle and commitments.
Modes of study and assessment methods
The courses include an industry-based work experience component. Assessment is via written examinations, case studies, tutorial participation, group work and presentations.
Selection Criteria
Entry into the Degrees requires a minimum UAI of 60.00 or equivalent. Other prospective students can also apply and will be individually assessed.
Entry into the Advanced Diplomas is based on an interview and ability to demonstrate a willingness and ability to learn, accept feedback and commit to a course of study. As part of the interview process you will complete a short written task, which helps us assess your strengths and capacity to succeed in your chosen course. Entry is not based on UAI.
Entry into the Diploma is typically based on your level of work experience. If you have completed the HSC then we also like for you to have worked full-time for at least one year. If you have not completed the HSC then at least two years full-time work experience is required as entry. Your previous work experience does not necessarily need to be within the field you are intending to study. As part of your application for part-time study you need to include a copy of your CV or resume.
Course Credit
Recognition of related academic achievements and informal learning for course credit are available. Certified testamurs and transcripts are required from recognised higher education institutions. Contact your Course and Careers Advisor or Agent for an application form and details on the process.Overseas Students
