Picture an ordinary working week. Where would reading, classes, assignments and revision fit? For professionals considering online postgraduate study, answering that practical question is part of deciding whether a program will suit their goals and commitments.
Delivery format is only one consideration. Assessment schedules, entry requirements, access to support and opportunities to interact with others can also shape the learning experience. Looking at these details early helps build a realistic picture of what study may involve.
Use the UNSW Online study hub to explore these questions before making a decision. Start with what you want a qualification to help you achieve, then look at how online study works, what will be expected of you and how the experience could fit alongside your existing responsibilities.
