Monash University offers courses in a variety of modes. These include on-campus group teaching and a variety of forms of off-campus delivery. These modes are designed to cater for different students having different needs and expectations. It is important for our prospective students to understand their options and to choose a program and mode of study that best meets their individual needs.
Off-campus learning is a flexible mode of study. Most commonly it is
based on a combination of independent learning materials and learning
support systems, with attendance by students at a teaching site being either
not required or kept to a minimum. Each unit studied has the same content and
assessment as the equivalent on-campus unit.
One variation of this approach, used in a small number of courses,
involves supplementing the independent learning materials and support systems
with regular group tutorial/study sessions, usually in collaboration with a
partner organisation. Courses offered by this alternative approach are listed
on page 144.
A small number of off-campus courses are also taught face-to-face to
groups at locations such as Monash centres or employer sites.
