We have three teaching periods (trimesters), commencing in February/March, July and November: giving you greater choice about when and how much they study each year.
Online study can also be referred to as 'distance education' (sometimes also off-campus education, or external study) and provides an opportunity for you to study without having to physically attend a campus.
