You have the option to study at one of our three campuses. Learn more about what each UniSQ location has to offer. 

Students can check the courses offered at their chosen campus, trimester and mode by using the ‘advanced search’ function of the handbook. Once in this section, click on ‘course’ to choose the campus, trimester and mode of study. Then click on individual courses for their specific course synopsis and offering.

The courses are listed alphabetically by course code. If you see a course code and title that looks interesting, please look to the right side to see when the course is offered (Trimester 1, 2 or 3) to ensure you choose a course that's offered when you will be on campus. There are limited on-campus course offerings in Trimester 3 on all campuses. It is recommended that students apply to Trimester 1 or 2 if possible to ensure they can access more courses.

Courses with codes 1000 – 3000 are generally undergraduate courses. Course codes 5000 – 8000 are generally postgraduate courses. You will need to look at which campus the course is offered at and choose all courses for your selected campus. If you see that a course is labelled as EXT (external) or ONL (online), they are offered only via distance education. You can only take one of these courses if you're doing three other on-campus courses. If you're only taking three courses per trimester, all of them must be on-campus.

If you need to view the individual course syllabus, please click on the course title. If the syllabus needs to be shared with your academic advisor, you can either share the weblink to the individual course or use the print icon to download a pdf version.
