Distance education australia

A variety of Australian education and training programs are offered offshore. These programs allow you to obtain Australian qualifications in your own country or to combine study at home with study in Australia.

Australian institutions use leading-edge technologies and innovative approaches to deliver flexible learning programs that can be tailored to your needs. Where an Australian university offers courses at an offshore campus or through an agent, the institution will be expected to maintain standards at least equivalent to those provided in Australia and carry full responsibility for all aspects of delivery. However, it is important to know that Australian Government quality assurance measures can only extend to students who are in Australia and enrolled in a registered institution and course. 

Distance education courses are delivered by public and private institutions in Australia. Here are some examples of the way distance education can be delivered to you:

  • courses taught in association with institutions in your country to ensure that they are appropriate to local conditions and adequately serviced by readily accessible staff
  • Australian institutions having set-up regional study centres in other countries
  • courses involving Australian lecturers and tutors providing short periods of face-to-face tuition
  • on-line interactive courses delivered via the Internet
