Are you ready to apply to our online Certificate in Criminal Justice?

The number of courses you choose to enrol into for our July start-date depends on if you would like to study full-time or part-time, and how you are financing your study.

Length of study:

• Full-time (six months): you will need to take two courses (studying approximately 37.5 hours per week) each term, for two terms.
• Part-time (one year): you will need to take one course (studying approximately 18.5 hours per week) each term, for four terms. 
  
  

Financing:

• StudyLink Student Loan: if you’re using StudyLink to cover your tuition fees, you need to add at least two courses (in order to meet the StudyLink threshold) and we recommend selecting all of your 2025 courses, so you do not need to update your enrolment.
• Self-funding: all courses added to your enrolment must be paid before the first course starts. This means if you are self-funding, you may only want to add your first term's course(s) to your enrolment for now, so that you only need to pay for one term at a time. You can then add your next course as this new term approaches.
