How you’ll learn
Actual teaching contact hours will vary depending on the level of study and the requirements of a particular semester. A significant part of the course is studio-based content development (web and media). Lectures and laboratory sessions, seminars and tutorials are also utilised. Online teaching and learning are utilised to support module work.
In addition, you will be expected to undertake significant self-directed study each week, depending on the demands of individual modules.

As an innovative and enterprising institution, the university may seek to utilise emerging technologies within the student experience. For all courses (whether on-campus, blended, or distance learning), the university may deliver certain contact hours and assessments via online technologies and methods.
