Support for studying from home

Studying from home doesn’t mean studying alone. You’ll have access to the same support, advice and connection as our on-campus students. Our online students have full access to academic guidance, wellbeing support and dedicated support from our lecturers and tutors, no matter where you live and study.

How online study works

All your learning happens online through an easy-to-use Learning Management System. You'll watch lectures, complete assignments, and connect with teachers and classmates from your laptop or computer. Most units offer flexible schedules, so you can study when it suits you - morning, late at night or in between work shifts.
