How flexible are the courses?

Our learning approach allows you to mix and match units to meet your particular career needs. While getting a degree does require you to take certain units, you're free to select other units and combine diverse fields of study. Study individual units or work towards a whole degree - it's all up to you.

Many of our courses can be studied by distance education (online or by correspondence), while classroom study is still an option for some courses.

What kind of support will I have?

In most cases students have access to a range of student support services such as online forums, study groups and student associations.

You'll also have library support from the institution providing your course, giving you access to relevant electronic databases and a digital reserve containing the readings for your unit.

Contact a SEEK Learning consultant if you need more information.

What are the fees?

Fees vary depending on the course. SEEK Learning has worked with all of our partners to deliver the best value possible.

Australian citizens can usually access the government FEE-Higher Education Loans Program (FEE-HELP), which means you do not need to pay unit costs upfront.

Contact a SEEK Learning consultant for more information on course fees, FEE-HELP and other finance options.

I am outside Australia. Am I eligible to study a degree course?

Because many of our degree courses are offered through distance education, you can study from anywhere in the world. If there are exams, you must find a suitable invigilator in your own country. Contact a SEEK Learning consultant if you need more information regarding this requirement.
