Distance Study Universities and Colleges in Australia

Distance learning is an increasingly popular trend for students. The flexibility of distance education allows students to balance the needs of their professional and personal lives with their educational studies. In addition, the location of the student, in relationship to the educational institutional, becomes irrelevant with distance learning. Although not a new concept, as educational courses by mail have been offered for decades, the Internet has revolutionized distance study. There are a variety of universities and colleges in Australia offering distance learning opportunities.

    • Griffith University, founded in 1975, was the first Australian university to offer degrees in environmental studies and Asian studies.

Online undergraduate degrees from Griffith include: arts, communication, criminology and criminal justice, and liberal studies. Its post-graduate distance degrees include master's degrees in literary classics, philosophical studies, arts, communication, criminology and criminal justice, employment relations, mental health, and social work.
