This requires a full-time study load of three to four subjects per semester with each subject requiring, on average, one two-hour lecture and one two-hour tutorial per week. You will also need to allocate approximately six hours per subject, per week, for at-home preparation, additional reading and assignments. This will vary from subject to subject and depend on the timing within the semester. We also offer the option of part-time study with a reduced subject load plus some after hours and intensive mode subjects in some degrees which may fit in better with work and life commitments. START-UP ESSENTIALS We appreciate that it may be some years since you were in a classroom; so we offer a network of support systems to help you find your feet. These include academic skills workshops, computing support, personal counselling and the professional employment services of our on-campus Career Development Centre. We also understand that not all postgraduate candidates will have a formal undergraduate qualification. Entry requirements for most of our programs allow consideration for relevant work experience and offer pathways. PERSONAL ATTENTION MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE Our personal approach to learning sets us apart. One of the key benefits of studying in small classes is the relationships you build with fellow students through our dynamic discussion-based lectures and tutorials. You will bounce ideas off of each other and devise collaborative solutions - it is almost like having your own personal consulting group.
