What will I study?

If you wish to progress to a full-degree program, it is recommended that you select courses from at least two different majors (and preferably up to three majors).

You may choose to complete a major by taking seven units of study in the one discipline, but this will normally require completion of the program over more than one year of study. Completed majors will be noted on the diploma testamur (graduation certificate).

Residential schools

In addition to the courses listed below, external students will also have the opportunity to come on-campus for face-to-face lectures and tutorials, use the facilities and to meet staff and other students.
