Distance education

In addition to its range of on-campus courses, Monash also conducts an extensive distance education program via the Monash Distance Education Centre which was designated in 1990 as one of eight national distance education centres in Australia. Monash's commitment to distance education means that the same opportunities can be offered to students who cannot attend on-campus lecture programs because of work, family commitments or location.

The aim of the distance education program is to provide students with the necessary resources to complete a major part of their course work off-campus. This involves the provision of (a) course material especially designed for independent study; (b) opportunities for effective lecturer-student and student-student interaction; (c) access to any necessary facilities, eg library, computer, audio-visual material etc.

In 1995, Monash plans to offer the following Gippsland engineering courses by distance education: Associate Diploma of Engineering (Industrial Management); Bachelor of Engineering (Civil, Electronic and Computer, Electro-Mechanical and Mechanical) (only 50 per cent of the course is available through distance education studies); Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Business (only 50 per cent of the engineering content is available through distance education studies); Bachelor of Engineering Studies; Graduate Certificate of Engineering; Graduate Diploma of Engineering (Maintenance Management).

Inquiries regarding applications should be directed to Student Administration at the Gippsland campus.
