How does online study with USQ work?
Undertaking an online uni course with USQ is an alternative to on-campus study that fits in with the demands of your life. When you have other commitments, travel demands, or even if you live in a regional area and would still like to complete your degree with USQ, our online university platform allows you to choose when, where and how you learn.
Is it better to study online or on-campus?
With USQ’s online degrees, you’ll study with both online and on-campus students, cover the same material, and graduate at the same time. The only difference is the flexibility that online offers – so you can balance work, family life and other commitments along with your study, and study in a way that best suits your life.
Will I need to visit a campus at all during my study?
Which areas of study are available for online study?
USQ offers a range of undergraduate courses, postgraduate courses and even research-based online degrees in Australia, providing you with world-class education and internationally recognised qualifications. There are over 80 study disciplines offered at the University of Southern Queensland, so it’s never been easier to find a field that fuses your passion and natural aptitude.
I’m not sure what to study, how do I choose an online degree?
There are a lot of important factors to consider when choosing what to study, such as your passions, strengths and where you want your degree to take you. We are here to help you choose! Get in touch and receive tailored support to help you choose the right degree for you.
Can I receive Austudy if I study online?
Just like an on-campus student experience, online university degrees are recognised by the government as tertiary study, and you are therefore eligible to apply for and potentially receive assistance from Austudy or the Higher Education Loan Program. Further information on fees is available.
When can I start in 2022?
Start study in February, July or November. Tailor your degree to suit your lifestyle. Take one subject at a time, study over summer, or enrol in extra subjects when life allows it. There has never been a better time to take the next step with USQ.
