Course descriptionIntensive Mode delivery*
Intensive Mode Delivery (IMD) is a compacted and time efficient way for students to complete their postgraduate qualification with minimal impact for students on their work/home lifestyle.
This program can be completed part-time in 8 months if you undertake 2 subjects per semester. The face to face component of each subject is delivered via two x three day modules, each of which includes either a Saturday or Sunday. Students may choose the intensity of their study pattern to suit their particular circumstances so longer periods for completion at a lower intensity are also available. Opportunities for study through international exchange at partner universities offer global experience and exposure, and can be used to accommodate variations to the standard program caused by work and holiday commitments. For more information please contact the Faculty.
