Can I study a course externally (online)?

UPDATED 26 SEP 2025 | 7:39AM
Some Curtin courses can be studied externally (fully online). 
You can view the study mode available for specific courses on the Curtin Course page. Find your desired course(s) by using the search function, then refer to the 'Location' tab to know whether the course is offered On Campus (internal) or Fully Online (external).
Additional information for international students on a subclass 500 visa:

International students on student visas are required to enrol in face-to-face internal study, however you may be able to enrol in external or fully online units providing they meet the following conditions:

  • You can only enrol in a maximum of one third of your total course externally or online.
  • You must maintain at least one internal unit enrolment per study period.

If you are planning to undertake external or fully online units you must first discuss your situation with Curtin Connect.
