Flexible study

We understand that university may be just one of many commitments that you have. UNSW Science gives you the freedom to take control of your studies to help you get the most out of your university experience.

Take advantage of studying online or customise a flexible timetable to study wherever and whenever suits you best. You can opt to fast track your degree with intensive courses over the summer break, catch up on a course you’ve missed or failed previously, or complete your general education requirements outside of session.

Our flexible study options are also helpful if you’d like to begin your studies mid-year, if you’re undertaking a double degree or have enrolled in a concurrent diploma.

Please check the UNSW Timetable for the most accurate and up to date availability of these courses. The information below is indicative only.
