Overview

OnTrack Flex is a free course that can be completed full-time over one semester or part-time equivalent, and can be studied online or on campus, at our Perth, Mandurah or Rockingham campuses. OnTrack Flex will provide you with a supportive adult learning environment and can lead you into an undergraduate degree that matches your aspirations.

The course provides an adult learning environment in which you can:

Develop effective study habits and learning strategies
Access tuition to develop your academic skills to an undergraduate level
Build a network of peer and academic support at Murdoch University.

As an OnTrack Flex student, you’ll complete 4 units containing assessment tasks such as essays, quizzes, oral presentations, learning portfolios, reports and an exam. Feedback is provided in response to each assessment task which you will use to guide and plan your future learning.

Flexible and personalise format

You can choose between range of flexible delivery modes, such as full-or part-time study, delivered on-campus and online. You can also choose elective units that are linked to the study area you’re most interested in.

What to expect

On-campus learning experience: There will be a 2-hour workshop each week, plus face-to-face/online lectures and independent online study. The days you attend class will vary, depending on the campus you’re studying at (Perth, Mandurah or Rockingham). When you are on-campus you’ll attend lectures, tutorials and workshops, and may be required to attend additional workshops if you need support for language development or computing skills

On-line learning: For online units, your tutor will engage you with a weekly 2-hour combination of live-time workshops and "on-demand" activities, as well lectures, independent study and the option of language support and face-to-face workshops.
