Each unit of study, or subject, usually has a credit point value of 3 or 4 points.
Most units require a half-year, or one semester, to complete.
Studying by distance, a student would on average take six years to complete the BA, undertaking two units per half-year. The 68 credit points needed must also include a coherent study, or major, in one discipline. Distance BA students will mostly choose units from the Division of Humanities or the Division of Early Childhood and Education. If you are offered, of a place in the BA you will have the opportunity to request advanced standing when you accept the offer. Advanced standing is not calculated for general enquiries, although you may be able to ask for an estimate of what you would be entitled to.
