Part-time study
Studying part-time is a great option if you're already working or have other commitments that take up a lot of your time. You may be able to study 1 or 2 units each semester. Your degree will take you longer to complete, but you can do it at a pace that is more suited to your needs.
International students can't study part-time.

Example timetables
Summer semester
The summer semester is a shorter teaching period that usually runs from late November until the last weeks of February. Units are taught in intensive blocks of classes, or in weekly classes. Get a head start on your course, catch up on study you’ve missed or accelerate your learning during the summer semester. It’s also a great time to complete any project work you need to do.
Study an individual unit
If you are interested in studying a single subject, but don't want to enrol in an entire degree, you may be able to apply for single-unit study. Studying can be for professional or personal development, or can be a way to see if study suits your personal needs before committing to a whole degree.
Fast-track your study
While students normally study four units each semester, you might choose to study five. This will allow you to complete your course faster. As long as the units you choose are part of your study plan, and you have met all the prerequisites, you can enrol in five units.
It may be possible to study more than five units (or 60 credit points) in one semester, but you'll need to get special permission from your faculty to do this.
Intensive study
Some courses offer units in an intensive block mode, which lets you complete the unit faster. These units are taught over shorter teaching periods, sometimes over five or six weeks, on several consecutive weekends, or intensively over a week.
Studying outside of working hours
