Other delivery modes exist and are indicated below with the following codes:

  • INT-Internet - Classes are taught solely online and may be self-paced.

Please ensure you only complete 48 credit points per semester if you are a full time student.  

Students wishing to study part time should contact the Program Manager to organise an individualised program enrolment structure.
