Attending classes in person is important, not only for your learning experience, but also for our sense of community and your mental health. Please aim to attend as many classes as possible face to face. Where this is not possible you may be able to attend Blended-Synchronous (Hybrid) classes or study Online.
The introduction of ‘Blended-Synchronous’ classes takes the ICMS learning experience to a new level of flexibility. Blended-Synchronous classes give online students the freedom to join a live class from anywhere in the world and feel like they are present in the class.
These modern and interactive classes go beyond a Zoom experience, with each class session and learning activity being offered in-person and online simultaneously, meaning you can decide how you want to participate. Skilled teachers facilitate activities that allow them to interact with students physically on campus and those studying overseas or remotely. Watch a video on Blended Classes.
*IMPORTANT: From 30 June 2023 all international students on a Student Visa must comply with ESOS National Code rules, therefore study only a third of their course online. International students on a student visa can only undertake 33% of their total enrolment load at ICMS as Online and must be enrolled in at least one (1) on-campus subject in each compulsory study period.

The ICMS Moodle Learning Management System is where you can access content for your subject including:
Keeping in contact with your lecturer is very important when studying online, as you will be able to ask questions and receive answers throughout the week, and participate in group discussions through forums.
