Choose how you'll study

You can apply to undertake non-award study either full-time or part-time.

Full-time non-award study

A full-time study load is usually 3 or more courses per semester. Full-time non-award study meets the requirements to obtain an Australian student visa.

You can enrol in:

  • a maximum of 4 courses per semester

Part-time non-award study

A part-time study load is usually 1 or 2 courses per semester.
