Object-Oriented Programming Fundamentals

About this subject

  • On successful completion you will be able to:

    1. Compare the traditional method of analysis/design/implementation and the object-oriented approach, with the OO model’s basic construct being the object, which combines both data structure and behaviour.
    2. Relate the principles behind the use of the abstract data type (ADT) to localise and minimise the effects of modifications through object-oriented approach.
    3. Justify the capabilities of the OO model to share and reuse code with OO techniques, reducing the time required to develop an application.
    4. Apply the object-oriented method to designing and implementing a computer program for solving a real-life problem.

Single subject FAQs

What’s a single subject?

Single subjects are the individual components that make up a degree. With Open Universities Australia, you’re able to study many of them as stand-alone subjects, including postgraduate single subjects, without having to commit to a degree.

Each of your subjects will be held over the course of a study term, and they’ll usually require 10 to 12 hours of study each week. Subjects are identified by a title and a code, for example, Developmental Psychology, PSY20007.

How can I use single subjects to get into a full degree?

First, find the degree that you would like to study on our website.

If that degree allows entry via undergraduate subjects, there will be information about this under the Entry Requirements section. You will find a list of 2-4 open enrolment subjects you need to successfully complete to qualify for admission into that qualification.

Once you pass those subjects, you will satisfy the academic requirements for the degree, and you can apply for entry.

Our student advisors are here to help you take that next step, so don’t hesitate to reach out when you’re ready! We’ve also made it easier to figure out the right way to get started on our pathways page.

Can anyone help me choose a subject?

Our student advisors are more than happy to help you plan your online study. Get in touch with an advisor by:

- Booking a free one-on-one consultation

How do I pay for my subjects?

You can pay up front with your credit card, or you may be eligible for a HELP loan from the Australian government depending on your citizenship status and where you’ll live during your studies.

For more information about how to pay for your studies visit our fees page or contact a student advisor.

How do I enrol?

When you’ve made your choice, click ‘Enrol now’ on the relevant course page and follow the prompts to begin your enrolment. We’ll ask you to supply some supporting documentation, including proof of your identity, your tax file number, and a unique student identifier (USI) during this process.

Your university will get in touch with you via email to confirm whether or not your application has been successful.
