Single subjects
Ever thought about single subject study? It's a way of studying one or two subjects in a fraction of the time it takes to study a degree.
A single subject is a great option if you're working full-time. They are short online courses with real flexibility to study how best works for you. You'll study the same course material that's in our degrees, and get to interact with your lecturers and classmates online. Most single subjects are open entry, so you can enrol and start learning right away. What's more, your subject will count toward a related degree such as a graduate certificate if you decide to pursue one later. It's a win-win.
Studying a single subject (or two) is perfect if you're:
- returning to study
- preparing for a career change or promotion
- need some professional development
- looking for affordable online study
- taking the first steps toward a degree.
