Summer Term

Studying in Summer Term means you can complete 10 units of your program faster. You'll be able to concentrate on just one course instead of managing a few at a time during a normal semester.

The following courses will be offered online in a compressed delivery over a 4 week Summer Term period for Open Foundation, Open Foundation Extended, NUchance, and Yapug students:

EPHUMA135 Research in Action

Research in Action will teach you essential research, analysis and critical thinking skills while exploring a topic of your choice.

This is a great foundation to your future studies at University, and gives you the chance to try out an area of study you're interested in learning more about.

EPMATH109 Introduction to Maths

Fundamental Mathematics is an introductory mathematics course which covers mathematical skills relevant to degrees requiring a basic level of mathematical knowledge and ability. This course will give you an understanding of and competence in the skills of numeracy, arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and scale measurement, basic statistics and units of measurement.

You may only choose one of the above courses to study in Summer term.

How to enrol in Summer Term

If you’re a new student, you can select Summer Term when applying for Open Foundation and Open Foundation Extended.

If you're an existing Pathways student, you can enrol through myHub.

You will be taken through the process of selecting your preferred term and then enrol as you normally would in any Semester.

Completing with Summer Term

Finishing in January means you can still start your degree in Semester 1, 2024!

Am I eligible to complete with Summer Term?

You are eligible to complete your program with the Summer Term course if you have:

  • 10 units to complete your program
  • Completed all of your core courses (for Yapug)

Will all degrees still be available for entry after Summer Term?

The first round of offers after grades are released for Summer Term will be made in early February 2024 to start in Semester 1, 2024.

In this later round places will be available in all programs on the Guaranteed Admissions Scheme, and most others with competitive entry.

Students who complete with Summer Term will not be eligible for Semester 1 2024 entry into the Bachelor of Midwifery, the Miroma Bunbilla or Excellence Through Equity Pathways to Medicine due to the earlier application deadlines.

These quota-based programs also typically fill up in the 1st round, so it is unlikely places will be available after Summer Term:

  • B Biomedical Science
  • B Medical Radiation Science (Honours): (Diagnostic Radiography), (Nuclear Medicine), and (Radiation Therapy)
  • B Nursing
  • B Nutrition and Dietetics (Honours)
  • B Occupational Therapy (Honours)
  • B Oral Health Therapy
  • B Pharmacy (Honours)
  • B Physiotherapy (Honours)
  • B Podiatry
  • B Social Work (Honours)
  • B Speech Pathology (Honours)

Will degree applications re-open after Summer Term?

The direct application form will not re-open after Summer Term, so you should still submit your undergraduate application on the Your Next Move website by the closing date.

Continuing with Summer Term

By getting a course out of the way over summer, next semester you can give more attention to your remaining course(s).

Am I eligible to study in Summer Term?

You are eligible to study in Summer Term if:

  • You have not already successfully completed EPHUMA135 Research in Action and EPMATH109 Introduction to Maths
  • You still have room in your program to complete your core courses after completing EPHUMA135 or EPMATH109.
