Online Study

Online study at UNSW is often used as a component of campus-based learning and teaching. In that case the online activities and resources are there to support and complement other course components, such as lectures and practicals. Some courses are entirely online, with no campus-based components and with the online learning activities and resources as the main focus of study.

Regardless of your mode of study, or whether you are on or off campus, it is important to make the most of the online components. You could be required to take part in online tutorial discussions or collaborate with fellow student in an online small-group projects.
