Our face-to-face classes are conducted at our Parramatta campus two full days each week along with one day of self study each week.
At Australian College of Studies [ACOS], we provide students who are looking to enter or advance their career with a range of interdisciplinary courses tailored to the business, aged care and mental health sectors. In the same way, our core facilities, education disciplines and services also provide students with the means to manage all course requirements while remaining involved in ACOS' active student life. This includes tailoring the various coursework and practical work placement timetables so that students can achieve all course outcomes while partaking in part-time work.
The next intake date for 2025 is Monday, 3rd February, 2025.
The intake days for 2025 are;
i. Monday, 3rd February, 2025
ii. Monday, 28th April, 2025
iii. Monday, 21st July, 2025
iv. Monday, 13th October, 2025
Each unit includes self-study time. This will allow students sufficient time to undertake research for assessments and complete all learning tasks that had not been finished in class.
Whilst studying at ACOS, you can engage in part time or casual employment as long as you adhere to your attendance requirements and visa limitations [Visa limitations only apply to international student].
Assessments will occur through a combination of written assignments and practical application projects. As such, students will undertake formative assessments during class using workbooks for individual units.
