WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONLINE AND ON CAMPUS STUDY?
Online study offers greater flexibility, allowing you to manage your learning at your own pace and from any location. It is more self-directed compared to in-person study, which includes more scheduled contact hours. Although you will be required to attend timetabled online workshops, these typically run for one to two hours per course each week.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM?
To complete the program, you must successfully complete eight courses. The duration of your studies depends on the academic load you choose:
- A full load of four courses per trimester allows you to complete the diploma in two trimesters.
- Alternatively, you may complete three courses in the first two trimesters and two in the final trimester, completing the program over three trimesters.
- The minimum enrolment is one course per trimester.
HOW MANY ASSESSMENTS CAN I EXPECT IN EACH COURSE?
Most courses include three assessment items, which may vary by subject. For example, some courses include two exams and a written assignment. Exams typically combine multiple-choice and short-answer questions, while written assessments require research and academic writing on a selected topic. All assessments are submitted online via Turnitin.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO COMMIT FOR MY STUDIES EACH WEEK?
You should plan to dedicate approximately 10 hours per course per week, including joining workshops, completing reading and activities, as well as working on assignments and study.
Additional time may be required during assessment periods
CAN I TRANSITION FROM ONLINE TO ON CAMPUS LEARNING?
Yes, an in-person option is available for your program. You may choose to complete the diploma fully online or switch to on-campus study. However, mode changes can only occur between trimesters— you must complete the current trimester in your selected mode before transitioning.
