Yes, the course is designed to be flexible. Students can study two units each semester, mostly online from home, and attend in-person workshops only once or twice per semester, making it possible to fit university commitments around a full-time work schedule.

The course is delivered through the Menzies Institute for Medical Research in Hobart, Tasmania. Most study is completed online, with occasional in-person workshops on campus.

For example, Haruhi secured a cadetship with the Clarence City Council as a full-time Cadet Environmental Health Officer, which gave her real-world experience while she completed her studies part-time. The council also provided her with one study day per week.
