Courses & Units
Distance Education is an accessible alternative for students who are unable to attend a Curtin campus or who prefer to study from home. Services provided by Distance Education include the online delivery of study materials, administration of assignments and mid-semester tests, as well as student support. Not all Curtin courses and units are available to study through Distance Education, as some have on-campus requirements.
The attendance mode for Distance Education is central external. Other external modes include area external and fully online which are offered and administered entirely by the Faculty or School. Please note: the modes central external and fully online DO NOT permit International Onshore student enrolment.
