Learn through media-rich course material, short engaging
videos, and interactive activities such as quizzes, forum posts
and online face-to-face discussions. Your degree has been
designed specifically for online learning to ensure you graduate
with the skills and knowledge needed for your future career.
100% online – no need to come onto campus
Everything from your course content to weekly activities and
assessments is 100% online. You’ll communicate with academic
staff and students via live messages, online discussion forums
and email. You’ll never need to set foot on campus, which is
perfect if you wish to continue working while you study.
Plan your study schedule ahead of time
All of your course content is available before your term starts.
This means you can log in and have a look at your learning
materials, weekly activities and assessments ahead of time.
You’ll have the ability to organise your study schedule and
factor in family, work or life commitments in advance.
If you know you’ve got a busy week coming up, you can
complete your course readings or assessments beforehand
so you don’t fall behind.
Fit life around study
Full-time students study two courses each term. It makes earning
a degree completely achievable, especially if you’re working.
Your degree is delivered over four terms each year. Each term
runs for 10 weeks with 2-week breaks in between each term.
You’ll also have the option to go part-time, or switch between
the two. If you need to take a break in your study, that’s an
option too. We recommend speaking to your Student Adviser
who can help you update your study plan and check when
your courses are offered.

“Being offered this scholarship
motivates me to succeed. The grant
allows me the flexibility to arrange
childcare for my son or take an extra
day of leave at busy times.
Finding a degree that facilitated my
move into the technology sector was
a challenge. I work full-time, have a
child, and a husband that travels for
work – and I couldn’t find a university
that offered the flexibility I needed.
UniSA Online is completely online
