Modes of Study

TAFE, university and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) offer thousands of different courses in different modes of study. These modes provide students with disabilities increased flexibility to study at their own pace and manage their own health and well being. Examples of flexible modes of study include external and online study. These modes enable students to undertake their course or program without having to attend campus for lectures and/or tutorials.

Other modes of study include part time options where students can study half the normal units of their course or program in each year. This is a great way for students to combine work, study and family commitments and is very popular among mature age tertiary students. Internal, external, online and mixed modes of study may be offered full time or part time depending on the tertiary provider. Examples of the different modes of tertiary study include:
