Mode of Study

At ICMS, we recognise that every student has unique preferences, which is why we offer two study options: face-to-face and online.

Within these options, students can choose from three modes of class learning:

• face-to-face
• online
• hybrid

These teaching modes are outlined in our annual delivery schedule, enabling students to plan their studies according to their preferred mode.

Face to Face Classes

Face-to-face classes provide immediate access to educators, foster direct communication, and create an engaging environment for collaboration and networking with peers, enhancing the overall learning experience.

Hybrid Classes

These mixed mode classes take the ICMS learning experience to a new level. Modern and interactive classes give students the freedom to join a live class from anywhere in the world and feel as if they are present in the classroom. Each session and learning activity is offered both in-person and online simultaneously, allowing students to actively participate regardless of their chosen study option. Our skilled faculty facilitate dynamic activities that promote engagement among students on campus and those studying remotely, ensuring a collaborative and inclusive learning environment for all.

Online Classes

Domestic (Australian and New Zealand) students may be able to study some courses fully online. Please check the Quick Facts related to your chosen course or email Admissions for more information. Students have access to some classes online and receive support from their lecturers and the wider ICMS community, such as the Library, the Student Success Centre and Wellness and Support Services. If you are studying online, please use your usual Moodle access to join your online classes.

Important: From 30 June 2023, all international students on a Student Visa are required to comply with the ESOS National Code rules and may only undertake one-third of their course online. International students on a student visa must limit their online enrolment to 33% of their total course load at ICMS and must enrol in at least one on-campus subject in each compulsory study period.

All subjects, regardless of the teaching mode, are carefully designed to ensure that students achieve equivalent learning outcomes.

Our approach ensures that all students, regardless of their mode of study, have a rich, engaging, and supportive learning experience that meets their needs and helps them achieve their educational goals.
