Courses in the taxation programs are offered in three ‘modes’: Distance, Face-To-Face and intensive modes (summer session only).

All courses in semesters 1 and 2 are offered in distance mode. This means that apart from your assessment responsibilities, you can work through the course content at your own pace within the semester. You are provided with:

  • A suggested study schedule
  • Comprehensive course materials that have been developed by experts in the field of study
  • Activities embedded into the course materials to enable you to consolidate your learning
  • A course UNSW website (Moodle) where you will find all of the course resources and ways to engage with your lecturer and peers
  • Fortnightly synchronous conference-tutorials you can attend where your lecturer will guide you through the course content and where you have the opportunity to interact with your lecturer and peers. Additionally, these conferences are recorded and available for you to review at any time throughout the semester. For more information on e-learning please click here
  • Courses in the Graduate Certificate in Taxation will have a take home exam as the final assessment. For more information on take home exams please click here.

There are also course offerings in Semester 1 and 2 that are offered in face-to-face mode during the evening in the UNSW CBD campus. During these weekly classes you are provided with the same resources as above, however, weekly lectures/tutorials in the UNSW CBD campus replace the fortnightly conferences. Attendance at CBD classes is compulsory and frequent failure to attend will result in exclusion from the examination.

During the UNSW Summer Session (Nov – Feb) courses are offered in intensive mode. This requires you to attend 3-4 full consecutive days of lectures at the UNSW Kensington campus. You are provided with the same resources as above however, the intensive lectures replace the fortnightly conferences. You have access to the materials at the beginning of the summer session, allowing you to work through them to meet your assessment requirements whilst attending the intensive lectures.

Throughout your program you will have access to highly qualified teaching and professional staff who are dedicated to these distance programs.
