Flexible study
Decide how and when to study
Our postgraduate degrees have a high-level of flexibility so that you can upskill or retrain in a way that suits you. Ï㽶ֱ²¥ online, part-time, over the summer or winter break, in the evenings or offshore.
Many of our postgraduate courses allow you to study part-time.ÌýFind your courseÌýand check the course details section to find out if it is offered part-time.
If you have already enrolled in a full-time study load (24 credit points), you canÌýchange your study loadÌýwithout being financially penalised before theÌýcensus date.
To keep your student benefits, you must retain full-time student status, which is 75% of a full-time study load (18 credit points).
Part-time study is usually not available for international students on a student visa (to hold a student visa, you must be enrolled in a full-time study load). Learn more aboutÌýreduced study load for student visa holders.
If you are an international student who does not have a student visa, you may be able to access greater study flexibility.ÌýÌýor refer to theÌýÌýfor more information.
