There’s no denying it, the last couple of years were… well, let’s just say unprecedented. Everyone’s life was turned upside down, and there were plenty of people who thought it was best just to hunker down and wait things out.

To be honest, that may have been fine for a while, but now the world’s getting back on its feet, and it’s time to kick start your new career.

There’s no reason to delay starting your uni studies. At Flinders, we’ve made our online options stronger than ever, and our teachers are adapting to deliver classes in innovative ways. You can start your studies mid-year, get ahead and get started on the road to your new career.

Online study may be different from the face-to-face study you’ve experienced in the past, but it’s still immersive and interactive, and will see you receive the same high-quality education that Flinders has always offered.

 “The transition to online study was daunting at first, but all of my tutors and lecturers adapted really quickly and were really supportive with the transition. University is a relatively independent learning environment, so I already felt like I had a lot of the tools to study online, which has made the transition a lot easier.”

Bachelor of Media Arts / Bachelor of Business

Top 5 student tips for online study

There are some simple tips and tricks to help you really make the most of your online study experience. Here are five of our faves from Flinders’ students:

• Routine, routine, routine. Get up early and get dressed. Take breaks and eat lunch. End your day by walking away from your workspace. Whether that is physically or mentally. It's important to separate work and home time. Deanne

• Reach out to other students/friends in your topics and book a time during the week to talk about assessments and lecture material. If you feel behind and that you aren’t understanding the topic material, your classmates can help. And vice-versa! Allana

• Reward yourself for achieving a goal during a study session. Always think of the big picture of what your assessments, learning and degree will give you in the future. Dean

• I’ve been breaking things down into half hour blocks with a five-minute break in between each block so I have a finite amount of time I have to focus for. Also, lo-fi music while reading! I’ve also found that facetiming study buddies and just sitting there working (and not talking!) is useful in keeping me on track because I can see someone else be focused and productive, and they can tell me to get on with things when I get distracted. Tori

• Just study like you are in uni! Make the same schedule you would in uni. Helps heaps! Sanyae

Of course, Flinders has online support options and student advisors available via phone, email and Facebook Messenger to discuss any concerns you might have and to give you the support you need to hit the ground running.

Online or face-to-face, you’ll find Flinders an engaging, inclusive environment, and both our staff and students ready to help you find your place and thrive.

Now is the time to be bold, to lead and to get ahead.
Now is the time to start your university journey.
