You will develop skills in academic discussion, university assessment, creativity and innovation, critical thinking and collaboration. The course also helps you develop digital skills such as collaboration on discussion boards, creation of blogs and videos, and the use of eLearning platforms, as well as skills in self-reflection, self-assessment and autonomous learning.

The 2026 course fees are: Tuition fee A$2,920, Admin fee A$300, and Material fee A$150. Please note that a surcharge applies for payments by credit and debit cards.

To study this course, you will need an undergraduate or postgraduate unconditional offer from an Australian university and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent. You will also need to bring your own Windows or Apple laptop computer, as tablet devices such as iPads are not sufficient.

There are two upcoming intakes: the first starts on 25 May 2026 and ends on 26 June 2026 (with a CET payment deadline of 27 March 2026), and the second starts on 07 December 2026 and ends on 22 January 2027 (with a CET payment deadline of 09 October 2026).

If you intend to study under a student visa, you will need Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). CET can arrange OSHC for you with Bupa as part of the application process by indicating the type of insurance required on step 2 of the application form, or you may arrange your own cover through an approved provider.
