This course is open to all ages, however in line with the Department of Education's Alternatives to full-time schooling policy, to study a youth program starting in:

All General Education students are required to participate in an interview and assessment as part of the application process. This will help determine if the course you have chosen is a good fit for you and at an appropriate level. Please note we have limited places for our courses and attending the interview does not guarantee you a place.

You'll be able to access your personal timetable (find out how on our Timetables page), once you have paid your fees. In the meantime the information below provides an indication of the time commitment required to complete this course, depending on available study options.

Combined (Online and On Campus)

What is combined?
Students will be required to complete units via a combination of face to face on campus attendance and online off campus study.

What does a Combined workload look like each week?
This course is equivalent to 2.5 days per week when studied full time across two semesters. Please make sure you have this time available each week to attend your scheduled (online and on campus) teaching sessions and undertake your own self-paced online study.

Each week you can expect:

• Scheduled online teaching sessions – will be held weekly for 2hrs.
• Drop-in online study sessions – will be held fortnightly for 2hrs.
• On-campus face to face assessment sessions – will be held fortnightly for 2 hours unless indicated otherwise on the online timetable.
• Self-paced online study - 10 hours a week.
• Private tuition can be arranged by appointment outside of the set timetabled hours with the subject Lecturer.

Self-paced online study will be completed outside of scheduled sessions, including private study, assessment preparation and research.

What skills do I need for Combined delivery?
You will need to have computer skills and access to a computer for at-home study. If you don’t have access to a computer and WiFi at home, we recommend using our library computers during library hours.

In order to succeed with this mode of delivery, you will be required to be self-motivated and willing to work independently.

Timetable information is indicative only and subject to change.

Study outside of class hours, including private study, assignment preparation, and research will be required to successfully complete your course.

Bring your own device (BYOD) is encouraged but not essential.
If you don’t have access to a computer and WiFi at home, we recommend using our library computers during library hours.

As a student you will also have additional costs associated with your study, for example text books and stationery, printing and other materials required for your assignments.
