StudyFlex
Add more flexibility to your degree
With StudyFlex, you choose how you want to study your subjects - online or on campus, in a mix that suits you.
What is StudyFlex?
La Trobe offers world-class, industry-designed learning both online and on campus. Experience both with StudyFlex, which lets you shape your degree to suit your lifestyle and location.
If a course has a StudyFlex label, it means even though that course is delivered at a specific campus, either:
- at least one third of its subjects are StudyFlex subjects, or
- it includes at least two majors that have at least four StudyFlex subjects each.
You can study these StudyFlex subjects online or on campus. The choice is yours.
It’s a great way to add online study into your on-campus degree – or the other way around. And if your course is offered at other locations, StudyFlex helps you connect with students from all of those campuses to share knowledge and build new networks.
How do StudyFlex subjects work?
When you enrol each semester, you’ll choose how you want to study your available StudyFlex subjects for that semester: online or on campus.
Each StudyFlex course will have a different mix of StudyFlex subjects: they might be available throughout your course’s duration, or they might be concentrated in a specific period. They might make up a third of your course, or they make up all of it. It all depends on the specific needs of your subjects and what you’re studying.
How do I know if I have a StudyFlex course or StudyFlex subjects?
Check the list below to see if your course is a StudyFlex course.
StudyFlex subjects are available to both domestic and international students, but for international students, your choices of how you undertake StudyFlex subjects could be affected by visa requirements and the amount of your degree you can study online.
Even if your course doesn’t have the StudyFlex label, it might still offer some StudyFlex subjects, majors or minors. Review your course’s structure and use the search function in the University Handbook to search for StudyFlex options. Look for the 'StudyFlex Course', 'StudyFlex Major' or 'StudyFlex Subject' icon in the top right.

How do I choose StudyFlex
Ready to combine the convenience of online learning with the experience of on-campus study?
If your course offers StudyFlex, you can simply head to StudentOnLine and select your StudyFlex subjects for the semester.
- If you’re enrolled in an on-campus course:
- Select the ‘[Location] – online’ subject
- If you’re enrolled in an online course:
- Select the ‘[Location]’ subject
Remember: what you choose when you enrol in each StudyFlex subject will decide how you study for the rest of the semester. So while some activities might be shared between study modes, like a subject offering tutorials online and on campus, whichever mode you're in after the first two weeks of semester is the one you’ll be enrolled in for the rest of semester..
