Ways to study
Studying on campus is a great way to enjoy the benefits of face-to-face education in a way that is far removed from a typical school. No matter which campus you choose, you know that you will be learning in an adult environment where you will be respected and nurtured. Attend a campus to learn face-to-face with a teacher in one of our learning spaces; such as a classroom, workshop, laboratory or simulated environments, or interact with teachers using real-time video or web conference tools.
What you need to know about studying on campus
Courses delivered on campus may have a combination of online and classroom based learning. Students studying full time should allow up to 16 hours per week of personal study time to complete the course requirements.
Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of choosing when and where you study. Direct your own learning with all your study materials online, and interact with your teacher using online video or web conferencing tools. Access your learning space 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and be supported by high-quality educators who are devoted to your outcomes.
