Single Subject Study

Single subject Study gives you a flexible study option without the commitment of a full degree. The program allows you to:

  • study subjects that require no prerequisites, prior knowledge, or experience
  • sample university, or test the waters of a subject area
  • update your professional qualifications
  • build your skills or explore your passions
  • prove to yourself that you are capable of university study
  • build your own degree, one subject at a time!

Detailed information about Single Subject Study

2013 tuition fees

Tuition fees for the Single Subject Study program are charged per subject and are the same cost for on campus or distance education study. Fees are payable upfront and are unable to be deferred. You will receive advice about payment options when you receive a letter of offer into the subject.

The student contribution for each subject falls within one of four bands. These bands indicate what the cost of a subject will be. Not all subjects in a course may fall within the one band, so where subjects are chosen from a discipline area in another band, the total annual rate may be different.
