Can we still finish our degrees in the same amount of time, or fast-track them?

Students will be able to fast-track their degrees by using the Midyear Session teaching term, which will be offered between Semester 1 and 2. The Midyear Session will be available as a 6 week teaching block. This term could be used as:

An option to take an additional or catch-up course
An opportunity to undertake an industry placement course
Or provide students the flexibility to take a break between studies to focus on other life commitments.

We will work with Course Coordinators and Schools to align courses that would best fit within the Midyear Session teaching term.
