Study Modes
Single subject study
Study a university subject to bring new ideas to your workplace, boost your career prospects, or explore a passion.
You can choose to study online or on campus, depending on your subject. Most subjects are open entry, meaning you don't have to have any previous experience or qualifications to apply. And if you go on to study a related degree, you'll receive credit for the subject you've completed.
How to apply
You can apply online in as little as 15 minutes.
If your chosen subject does have some prerequisites, you'll just need to include an academic transcript.
If you were born outside of Australia, you'll need to upload evidence of Australian citizenship or permanent residency. If English is not your first language, you'll need to upload evidence that you meet our English language requirements.
Single subject fees
Fees are charged per subject and are the same for on-campus or online study. You will need to pay your fee upfront, as they cannot be deferred through the Australian Taxation Office's HELP scheme. We'll send you some information about payment options in your offer letter.
Fees for undergraduate single subjects fall into one of several bands. For postgraduates, the fees are by faculty.
