2023 Undergraduate courses At times, COVID-19 has required the University to make changes to its operations for health and compliance reasons. This means that your course or parts of your course may be delivered differently to the standard description in this guide. Changes might include remote or blended modes of delivery, changes to campus operations, assessment methods and the way we deliver support services. For the latest information, including about delivery modes, make sure to regularly visit sydney.edu.au/courses and sydney.edu.au/covid-19.
