What is Open Learning?
Open Universities Australia is a new concept in distance education. Open Universities Australia is the link between the students and the universities. It coordinates the registration of students in graduate and undergraduate units from many universities and provides administrative and other support for both the universities and the students. Unlike campus-based university study, Open Universities units have no prerequisites and no limit on student numbers. Open Universities adds another choice to the higher education menu and is particularly appealing because it allows students to study at home through a variety of media including television, radio, audio and video tapes, personal computers, and conventional print material.
Please note that only graduate courses are available by Open Universities through Linguistics at Monash.

Choosing whether to do a Postgraduate Diploma or MA in Applied Linguistics by Open Universities Australia or by Off-Campus learning (Distance Education)
The main advantage of Open Universities units is that students are not required to meet entry requirements in order to do the units and so they are easily available to anyone who is interested. Application forms, costs, help with fees and other information regarding study through Open Universities are contained in the Open Universities Australia Handbook available from larger newsagents and bookshops; it is also available on the web.
The advantage of doing a Postgraduate Diploma or MA in Applied Linguistics by OCL (Distance Education) for students who have a suitable undergraduate degree is that the award of the degree becomes automatic once the units are completed at a satisfactory level.
