All our courses are taught by distance/online. Each course has a three-day non-compulsory contact workshop in Palmerston North. If you cannot attend in person, you can use interactive technologies, to interact with the class and lecturer online (practical sessions not included). Most lectures are streamed live and recorded for later review.
| "These courses jump-start me to review subjects in a more systematic and sustainable manner—hopefully well beyond the duration of the courses." |
Taught courses are offered every second year with the exception of the following courses offered annually
Research reports (Capstone courses) (118.851, 118.852, 118.853) are offered each year over Semester 1&2.
