As a AeU student, you have the opportunity to combine online and on-campus study to have the best of both worlds. As an online student, you are invited to come on-campus at any time and on-campus students aren’t always required to attend class in person. It’s all about finding a balance that’s right for you, and that fits your life. Remember to check your program of study to read the exact requirements.

Some courses (subjects) and programs have residential schools. Residential schools give students studying online the opportunity to attend campus for face-to-face lectures and tutorials, use of the facilities and to meet staff and other students. While the majority of residential schools are voluntary, some are compulsory so you may be required to come on-campus during a scheduled time.

On-campus study involves attending lectures and tutorials each week on campus. This mode of study means you interact with other students and lecturers face-to-face on a regular basis.

Studying on-campus is a great way to experience university life first hand. You can attend lectures in person, join in on-campus activities and take advantage of the facilities available.

Attending on-campus lectures and tutorials allows for groups discussions and provides you with the opportunity to work through examples and attempt practical questions.

Some courses (subjects), particularly those in science and engineering areas, also require students to attend practical laboratory sessions where hands-on activities such as experiments and use of specialist equipment are undertaken.

Have a look at our degrees and courses to see what you can study on-campus. If you are wanting to be closer to campus, there are accommodation opportunities available.
