For each 8-point subject you are enrolled in, you should expect to spend 10 to 12 hours per week working on assignments and assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, and attending lectures, intensive schools, or examinations. If you are studying four subjects per session, this is equivalent to a full-time job. The workload for some subjects may vary as a result of approved course design.
The course consists of fourteen core subjects, one restricted elective chosen from two subjects, a major of eight subjects and five unrestricted electives or a minor sequence.
Study Centre students may have limited major and minor selection.
Students enrolled at Charles Sturt University Sydney and Charles Sturt Melbourne may have a limited selection of majors, minors and electives.
