Flexible Study Options to Get Ahead
Courses at Curtin Sydney are as flexible and individual as the students who study them. Students who may not automatically qualify for university entry can enrol at Curtin Sydney in the Certificate and Diploma programs. Curtin Sydney also recognises previous studies and work experience, enabling some students to take advantage of the relevant prior learning they have acquired. This may enable students to complete their degree in a shorter period of time.
Fast Track Your Studies with an Optional Summer Semester
Curtin Sydney operates on a semester system with intakes in February and July. In addition students may fast track their studies with an optional summer semester (identical in length to other semesters) that runs from November 2006 to February 2007. This allows students the flexibility to complete their studies more quickly or to extend their studies over a longer time period. All international students must be enrolled in full-time studies.
