Courses to select
The number of courses you choose to enrol into for our April start-date depends on how you are financing your study.
Financing:
- StudyLink Student Loan: if you’re using StudyLink to cover your tuition fees, you need to add all three 2025 courses (in order to meet the StudyLink threshold).
- 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 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.
If you're self-funding, the course you need to search for and select is:
- EMGT602 - Engineering Knowledge Management (28 April - 29 June 2025)
Please note: the specific course code to search for is EMGT602. The correct courses to select will then be shown in the course selector as EMGT602-25X2 (O).
If you're using a StudyLink loan, please also add:
- MBAD615 - Leading Ourselves (14 July - 14 September 2025)
- EMGT604 - Management in Technical Organisations (29 September - 30 November 2025)
Please note: the specific course codes to search for are MBAD615 and EMGT604. The correct courses to select will then be shown in the course selector as follows: MBAD615-25X3 (O) and EMGT604-25X4 (O).
Cap & minimum enrolment threshold
A minimum number of learners is needed for effective interaction and feedback, while a maximum cap of learners ensures high quality learning and support. If the minimum number of enrolments required for a course isn’t met, or the maximum cap is exceeded, learners will be given the option to defer their study or receive a refund.
