Resources and Support for Distance Students

In developing its distance offerings, MUSEC staff have been committed to providing the same levels of rigour, quality and student support as are available in on-campus offerings. To this end, a combination of interactive video and internet technologies have been developed to provide the flexibility of distance learning without the disadvantages associated with many traditional distance programs.

Internal and distance versions of units run in parallel, so you have a large number of other motivated students with whom you can share experience and knowledge. You will be provided with extremely high quality learning materials and extensive personalised support in your studies.

What do other students say about MUSEC distance programs?

"The online video presentation was a great help. Flexibility in hours of access and access to other peoples thoughts and ideas... especially examples of concepts."

"Being able to ask questions when the work was fresh and having the answers very quickly via the bulletin board. That I could complete the material from home but had the opportunity to ask questions if needed."

"Administrative queries were resolved. Questions about application exercises were answered. If you didn’t understand something you could ask a question instead of struggling. Reading lots of answers and your feedback gave a good indication of the precise meaning of a topic."
