How a student advisor can help
Get assistance with the tricky stuff
To help you take advantage of all our benefits, our team of expert student advisors are ready to help with even the trickiest of arrangements.
Get help with the 'what'
If you're not sure what to study, or which career path to pursue, talk through your interests and goals with a student advisor and gather some recommendations.
Plan an alternate path into a degree
If you're not eligible for a certain degree at first, a student advisor can help you select subjects that may qualify you for entry, and count towards that degree.
Build a custom degree
Found a degree that's almost the right fit? Talk to a student advisor about customising it with elective subjects from other study areas, or other universities.
Combine online and on-campus study
If you want to speed up your on-campus degree, ask a student advisor how to study some of your subjects online, rather than waiting for them to start on campus.
Skip straight to postgraduate study
If you've got 5+ years of work experience, why study the basics in a bachelor's degree? Skip ahead to a postgraduate degree with the help of a student advisor.
Sort out the logistics
Let a student advisor clarify the details of study, including enrolment in a course, payment and study loans, and general administration.
How to reach our experts
It's our goal to make it easy to find, choose and enrol online without assistance. But if you're lacking clarity or feeling doubtful, talk it through with a trained and highly knowledgable advisor – they're happy to help.
