Study and work option

Seven subjects are taken in first semester and a ‘Workbased Project’ is taken in the second semester while working full-time. Spreading the course over more than one semester reduces the study load and ensures wider selection of electives. Many students with advanced standing for previous studies should undertake the course over two semesters to adjust to the standards required at ICHM and living in a new city. This option also permits students to work up to 20 hours per week.

On-line study option

Students undertaking the ICHM Bachelor degree on-line otherwise known as distance education, complete the course using email, discussion boards, assignments, prescribed texts and chat sessions. Students can - complete four subjects in each of two consecutive semesters (minimum) or  take eight subjects over five years (maximum). The later option provides students with the advantage of maintaining their work and residence while obtaining an internationally recognised qualification. International students should note that, under Australian Government student visa rules on-line studies in Australia is restricted, an exception to this is the Workbased Project.
