Course Descriptions

SEMESTER 1, SEMESTER 2 2012 and SUMMER TERM 2013 (Workshops for Summer Term are held in Nov/Dec 2012)

Courses are offered in the following three modes: INTERNAL (Face-to-face); EXTERNAL (Workshop), and EXTERNAL (Online). Courses may be offered internally and externally in the same semester.

• Internal students may enrol in external classes but must check external timetable for workshop attendance and Blackboard participation requirements as external courses do not have weekly face-to-face tutorials.
• Students enrolling in Summer Term 2013 courses must attend workshops in November/December 2012 and complete required assessment tasks through January 2013
