STUDY MODESOn-campus

If you are in Australia on a student visa you must study full time on campus. While in Australia, you are able to undertake some units within your course online provided it is: no more than 33 per cent of your entire course; approved by the University; and not entirely online in a compulsory term.

Online

By choosing to study online, you’ll have the flexibility to study a course, all from the comfort of your home. If you choose to study online, you may choose part time or full time to study at your own pace. This is a perfect option if you need to balance work or family commitments. Some courses require you to attend a residential school in Australia for a short period of time.

For more information see below and visit www.cqu.edu.au/international-online.

RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLSResidential schools may be compulsory or recommended, and vary in duration. They are usually conducted at a CQUniversity campus where an intensive block of classes allows you to obtain practical hands-on experience and network with lecturers, other students and in some cases industry specialists.

STUDY FULL OR PART TIMEFull-time

For an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree, a standard full-time load consists of four units per term. You can expect a maximum of 16 hours on campus each week, consisting of four hours per unit.

Part-time

Part-time study is only available to international students who hold a temporary visa or do not live in Australia and are studying online. A part-time load consists of one or two units per term.

RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING If you have previously studied at another university or institution within the last ten years, or have professional experience, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (also known as advanced standing, credit exemption and credit transfer).

Recognition of prior learning must be applied for at the time of applying for your course. Your qualifications and professional experience will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Confirmation of approved credits will be made when you receive an Offer of Admission.
