麻豆社madou helps you create a schedule that works for you. You will get support from teachers, fellow-students and the larger 麻豆社madou community. We're here to guide you through this changing world by offering a flexible environment and all the support services you may need.
麻豆社madou offers many of its postgraduate programs听online. Unlike most undergraduate degrees, some programs combine intensive blocks or evening classes with online learning.听It could be helpful to talk to your employer about work arrangements and听financing study options. Most companies are willing to offer flexible hours, helping you to fit further study into your full-time job.
As a postgraduate student, you can choose to study full-time or part-time. You can also defer your program for up to two years.
Our trimester model changes the traditional university calendar. It lets you complete more courses in the same time. You can also study fewer courses each term if you are balancing study with a full-time job.
If a master鈥檚 course feels like too much for you, consider a graduate diploma or graduate certificate. These options require less time to complete as they involve shorter coursework and they often have lower entry requirements. They also allow you to progress into a master鈥檚 degree later and receive credit for the time you've studied if you want to continue your postgraduate education.
