Course Specific Advice
Thomas More Law School – Melbourne and North Sydney
Email: [email protected]
If necessary your query will be referred to a Course Coordinator.
Peter Faber Business School- Melbourne and North Sydney
In previous years, many of the Undergraduate business units have been delivered as a stand-alone lecture and tutorials. We are now moving towards workshops of 2 or 3 hours in duration. As the workshop will combine the lecture and tutorial, you will no longer need to enroll in a lecture and a tutorial if you enroll in a workshop.
By providing workshops, we hope to create a better student experience as the workshop model will eliminate the need to attend a lecture and a separate tutorial.
Students should in the first instance contact the Course Administrator on [email protected]. For professional experience advice, please send your enquiry to [email protected]. For current Students, if your enquiry is related to Academic content or Unit Outline content, please contact your campus Lecturer directly. If required, your query will be referred to a Course Advisor or the National Course Coordinator, click here for details of your Campus Course Advisor.
