Undergraduate Distance Learning
Overview of distance learning: undergraduate
Linguistics at Macquarie has some individual units offered in distance mode as part of various undergraduate programs. At this time, it is not possible for students to complete an undergraduate degree in Linguistics entirely by distance, but the Department and the University are exploring options to considerably expand the number of undergraduate units available by distance in the coming years.
The units offered by distance are the equivalent of their on-campus counterparts in their rigour, in the expectations upon students, and in the amount and quality of work required. Individual units vary in their format. Some require students to attend special on-campus sessions periodically; some have formal examinations which may be sat at Macquarie, or at specially designated exam centres around Australia.
Graduating students are welcome to attend their graduation ceremony at Macquarie; academic staff are always pleased to meet distance students. For students who cannot attend, degrees are conferred at the ceremony in absentia, and degrees and transcripts are sent to students by registered mail.
